Since blue-eyed, blonde and red-headed Jews are not that rare today, geneticists assume some gene-mixing through intermarriage between Jews and Northern Europeans in which Judaism was assumed by the gentile half of the union. In Jesus' time, without such mixng, it is a reasonable assumption that the Hebrews were darker than many Jews of today, but not black.

Skin color wise -- 2000 years ago, the majority were brown. Present day -- you're only looking at the Jews from Europe who intermarried. The ones who remained in Israel or the Middle East or India are brown. Jews 2000 years ago would have had the same complexion as the present day Arabs -- hey, in the PErsian paintings of Jews, they are presented as being brown and darker than the Persians.
