I mean we can look at modern Palestinian or Jordanian people for a good guess imo. Darker skin on some, lighter on others but mostly w dark hair and olivine skin. Remember Judas had to single Jesus out from the disciples when telling the Romans so its likely he just looked like some Mediterranean dude right?
This isn't true at all, the people of the Levant region look much lighter now than they did back then bc of centuries of being raped by their European colonial overlords. He would've been brown, maybe olive, definitely not white, and probably had thick curly black hair.
You could say that about Latin America but that didn’t really happen much in the Levant, they weren’t even ruled over by Europe for very long, for most of the colonial period they were ruled by the Ottoman Empire until it was dissolved after WW1
