Jesus was a Jew from the Middle East. Pretty easy to guess what color he was..

Yes, He probably looked more or less like a Sephardic Jews Jew. But maybe not as much like modern Sephardim as you might think. Lots of things change in 2000 years. Many of them trace their lineage through the Ottoman empire and/or Spain. Some mixing there.

But as someone else wrote: Who cares. What he was is infintely more important than what he looked like.

Arabs are darker than Sephardics because of miscegenation with their African slaves.

The fertile crescent was the crossroads of the world. Dozens of invasions and occupiers over millenia.

Tradition says that Jesus had blue eyes.....
