Most people believe Jesus was white, but he was a mix of everything because he was God's son so it did not matter either way. He was actually a little dark.

Also:

We're told that Jesus was a Jew of the House of David:

"...the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David..." (Luke 1:32).

We're also told that David was "ruddy" ["...reddish (of the hair or complexion)..." -- {Literal Bible with Strong's Definitions}. So, David may have had "freckles" if his complexion was reddish.

"...Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to..." (I Sam.16:12).

Of course, we are also told that Jesus' appearance wasn't "beautiful" or such that "we would desire Him":

"...when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him..." (Isa.53:2).

So, while Jesus was of an ordinary appearance [any face in the crowd], whereby He became lost in the crowd a number of times -- it is possible that He may have been "ruddy" with freckles.

Another answer

Jesus was a Jew from Palestine. His skin color was fairly dark (compared to many "white" people. Just like the people who have always lived in Palestine.

Unknown as it is not documented, but it was probably similar to other Jews of his day.

Consideration Cfor what is written concerning the generations to Christ

  1. Genesis 5 Traces Adam to Noah
  2. Genesis 6 states Noah was perfect in his generations (to Adam)
  3. Genesis 11 (start at verse 10) defines Noah's son Shem who's generations lead to Abram (Abraham)
  4. Isaac was son to Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 17:19)
  5. Jacob was son of Isaac (Genesis 25:19-34)
  6. Genesis 29:34 identifies Levi as one of the sons of Jacob
  7. Luke 1 defines Mary as being of the daughters of Aaron of the tribe of Levi and as the one to conceive Chris as defined by the prophecy of Isaiah (7:14-16). Therefore Mary was of the Adamac people, completely documented and traced in biblical text to Adam himself.
  8. Adam is defined in the Strong's Hebrew dictionary as word 119 and it means: to be dyed, made ruddy, to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy … be(dyed, made) red (ruddy).

If Jesus was a Jew living in the first century, he would have been Semitic. He would therefore have had brown skin, brown eyes, black hair and probably a pronounced nose, but not flat like black people of Africa.

Neither. He was Semitic from the Middle East, so it was brownish skin.

Nationality is the country a person comes from, not a race. Jesus was a Jew in the country of Isreal, in the Middle East.
