5th-6th century Byzantine art had colors. It might well have been ethno-centric, so any depictions of Christ might be better understood as how these Greeks saw themselves. It is lighter skinned moreso than darker skinned, although Peter below appears "olive?"

The depiction of Peter also suggests Byzantine understandings of color:

Finally, the Mother of Jesus also was viewed in the following manner by the Byzantines:
