Answer:
Jews come in differing skin-tones, heights, and body-types. Our skin-tone most often ranges from light-colored to olive-toned. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
Abraham himself came from Western Asia, and since Jews have intermarried very little in the last 3800 years, the answer is that he probably looked like Jews today.
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, comparable to the Sephardim today (not African or Egyptian).

What book or the Bible does it say about Jesus color?
The Scripture never mentions his skin color only that He is from the tribe of Judah, nicknamed Jews and had a common look about Him. This is borne out with several accounts of Jesus easily slipping away from the angry crowds and the fact that Judas had to identify Him for the authorities. Extra-biblical accounts though speak of Him being tall and thin in built. Light or chestnut hair color with blue/gray eyes. His skin was 'touched' by the sun in that he was usually outside walking/preaching and would off had a 'tan' to the usual white skin of the Jews. These accounts seem to make Him stand out a bit to the common dark hair, dark eye look of the Jews around Him. Just one point here, the color of his skin does not matter as He died for all mankind - of all colors, shapes, sizes, sexes and ages. This is what matters.
