well considering that Jesus was Jewish, my guess is that he looks like every other Jewish person in Israel. a beautiful olive complextion, as for the color of his hair and eyes, I do not know, but I would assume he was/is just as beautiful as the others. but no i don't think his color would matter, and if it did, then those people need to take a deep long look inside of their hearts and think of what's really important...He loves all of us even if we say blasphemous things, or what color we are. and I think people need to stop being so shallow, and ignorant about the whole thing. Jesus doesn't care what you are..He only sees you as his child..his baby.

"It is most commonly argued that Jesus was probably of Middle Eastern descent because of the geographic location of the events described in the Gospels, and, among some modern Christian scholars, the genealogy ascribed to him. For this reason, he has been portrayed as a bronze-skinned individual typical of the Levant region. A team of forensic scientists recently attempted to recreate what Jesus may have looked like based on human remains from the area where and time period when Jesus is believed to have existed."

That site goes over all the discussions of his complextion or descent for centuries...so you can see where the trends started, etc.
I think the only ones really concerned with what color the guy's complextion was are those who feel the need for a deeper connection with him then anyone else.

Since the bible never says He looked in any way unusual, and it would have if He did, then apparently He looked like a Jewish man of His time. He most likely had short hair, as was the custom at that time. And no, doesn't matter at all.

Probably mediterranean olive skinned, but there has always been different types of people almost everywhere. I've seen Egyptian art depicting people from the lightest white-pink to dark brown. All hair and eye colors existed in Egypt and the Middle East.

He was a Jew from the Middle East. He had a swarthy complexion, dark hair, and dark eyes. Anyone who believes He looked like a Swede or a Pygmy doesn't have a grasp of geography.

There's a real good chance based on where Mary's ancestors lived that Jesus is partially Black. It doesn't matter what color anyone is, we're all just God's children.
God Bless!
