It was my understanding that the Old Testament said He would be rather unassuming looking. But I also thought there was a New Testament reference to the fact that he was striking in appearance and that there was something magnetic about him.
I thought striking might have meant that he was taller than the average man of the time and unusual in some way.
There is also this to consider:
“While reviewing the evidence of the Shroud in 1999, Dr. Gilbert Lavoie presented another intriguing discovery, that the body had light blond hair.”

Also:
There is another physical description of Jesus in a letter by Pontius Pilot in which Jesus has golden colored hair and blue eyes. In 1964, a tablet from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar was recovered in a archeological find (a copy of this letter is in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.) which describes Jesus’ physical appearance. It describes Jesus as having golden colored hair.

I had a friend once who had medium brown hair but when she stood in the sun, it blazed a sparkly gold. I picture Him that way. He looked like He had brown hair until he stood in the sun preaching; then He glowed with zeal.
