There are still a very few people with darker skin and blue or gray eyes in Wales or whose ancestors came from there, according to my Brit neighbor. I worked with one back in the early 90’s-a woman whose mother was Welsh-she had black hair blue eyes and skin a bit darker then my light olive color. That coloring certainly gets your attention.
I have dark red hair and green eyes, as do several of my cousins and an uncle. Most family members have black or dark brown hair and green or brown eyes. We all have varying shades of skin from light to dark olive-but we are Hispanic-ancestors were Basques from the Pyrenees and that coloring is not all that uncommon in Spain and Mexico, even 500 years after those people came over here-it is nowhere as attention-getting as the Welsh coloring...
