It's unlikely we can know for sure, but logic would tell us that they were probably white to possibly somewhat dark complected. This is because Moab was a decendent of Lot who was Abraham's nephew. Abraham's family were ultimately decendants of Shem, the son of Noah. The African people were unrelated, since they were the sons of Ham the son of Noah.

Moab was copper to black skin as all negroes are...they were Shemites which were the negroes...Hammites are Africans but not negroes as stated in Genesis...because recent history has tried to categorize negroes as Hammites and gentiles as Shemites...

Copper brown skin. There is no such thing as black skin. Only different shades of brown.

Why would Lot and Abraham be considered related and Ham's nephew and niece (Shem's children) not be considered related? Ham and Shem are brothers just as Abraham and Lot's father were brothers.

We may presume that they were of Middle Eastern complexion. Geographically, they lived in the region of modern-day Jordan. Our tradition is that the descendants of Abraham, including the Moabites, were not all similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was very dark-skinned. And unlike the Ishmaelites, the Moabites had no Egyptian blood.
Terah, Abraham's father and the ancestor of the Moabites (through Haran and Lot), came from southern Iraq, while the wider family was from northern Iraq.

Moabites were a West Semitic people, so they were fairly dark-skinned, just like the Palestinians and some Jews of today.
