DO we have any reference of what people looked like when it comes to Age in Jesus's Day, would they have had a white beard in there early 30's? or does that play any part, although I know the Jesus we have seen in pictures and films is young and angelique looking, the picture of Jesus on the shroud apperas to be a man in his 70's or 80's by the features.

Since the Shroud is not a true photograph but rather more akin to a topographical mapping of the body (although inexplicably, it contains subcutaneous information as well as surface information), along with non-image blood stains, there is no color information encoded in the Shroud. The hair is not "white" it is merely closer to the Shroud than the background.

Forensic Pathologists and Anthropologists have examined the image and concluded that it is a man in the prime of life.
