Neither. Considering that he lived in the Middle East, he would have blended in with the locals, being Arabian.
There was a modern artist's interpretation at discovery.com of what Jesus may have looked like. Short black hair and olive skin.

Brain-washed Inferiority
The human mind can't help reasoning that since the "begotten son" of an African will look like an African, and that of a Chinaman as a Chinese, and that of an Indian like an Indian: so the begotten son of God aught naturally to look like God. Billions of beautiful pictures and replicas of this "only begotten son of God" are put in peoples hands. He looks like a European with blonde hair, blue eyes and handsome features like e one I saw in the "King of Kings" or "The Day of Triumph" or "Jesus of Nazareth". Remember Jeffrey Hunter? The "Savior" of the Christian is more like a German than a Jew with his polly nose. So naturally, if the son is a white man, the father would also be a white man (God?). Hence the darker skinned races of the earth subconsciously have the feeling of inferiory ingrained in their souls as God's "step children". No amount of face creams, skin lighteners and hair straighteners will erase the inferiority.
God is neither black nor white. He is beyond the imagination of the mind of man. Break the mental shackles of a Caucasian (white) man-god, and you have broken the shackles of a permanent inferiority. But intellectual bondages are harder to shatter: the slave himself fights to retain them.

I have the Hollywood version in my head, very similar to the pictures and statues the catholic showed us growing up. My son however belongs to another religion and he believes Jesus was dark (not black) skinned and long black curly hair...I guess more mid eastern in appearance and I believe his version makes more sense.

Jesus Rodriguez is a Mexican friend of mine.
Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.
[Do Christians on Yahoo! answers feel righteous when they report questions they disagree or disapprove of?

Neither. He carried all the same genetic material as the man who brought sin into the world, Adam which means red man.

What difference does the color of his skin make? Learn from what he taught and his words rather than worry about what he looked like. This is a really silly question. Racism is silly.

Who knows? Considering he was Jewish and living in the Middle East, I think he was of a darker skin tone. But does it really matter what he looked like? It doesn't change anything.

probably a dark tan. the equivalent of a modern Hebrew. however what color HE was is of little importance for like the Image of GOD each mortal has their own personal conception as to THEIR physical appearance.

Jesus was a jew so what ever color their skin was is what Jesus had. I think there skin was described as olive skin.
