Based on the characteristics of the average Judean person in the first century of the Common Era, Jesus may have looked like this. With the spread of Christianity in Europe, over the years he became paler and whiter with European features. Man made God in his own image, as they say.

I prefer the reality; which is we don't know exactly the skin tone, eye & hair colours of Jesus. That way he can be 'everyman' & no-one can be discriminated against for being different. Perhaps he described himself as the 'Son of Man' for that purpose?
