It is very likely that Jesus was Middle Eastern looking with light skin, curly hair, dark in color, perhaps light brown.

1 Samuel 16:12
So Jesse sent for his youngest son and brought him in. He was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him, for he is the one.”

Beautiful eyes, love of God, Spirit of God is seen in them. Eyes "like a flame of fire". The flame = all consuming Love of God.
Revelation 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, ...

God's eyes are compared with flame of fire 3 times in the book of Revelation.
Apostle John capitalized upon love of God the most. He was "the beloved disciple". Not because others were loved less, but he longed for God's love especially, and was given to perceive more.

Some translations say that David had a beautiful countenance, instead of eyes. This is not to be understood as physical appearance, if we look how the word countenance is used throughout the Bible it actually reflects the spirit or feelings and other inward contents of the soul, shown through the outward appearance of the person. Per example, how some people look like meek and kind souls, and some have a look of evil, you look at that person and they look mean or just plain evil. That's countenance in Biblical sense. Here Hebrew literally says "eyes". One looks into his eyes, and they could see his lovely spirit.

I believe based on how eyes/countenance is being pointed out, that here "handsome appearance" prophetically represents virtues of spiritual comeliness that is found in Christ. No reason to doubt that king David was comely physically as well.

See Solomon's description :
"My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven"
Song 5:10-11 (KJV Bible)
"My beloved is white and reddish, the chief among ten thousand.
His head is the most fine gold. His locks are bushy, black as a raven."
Song 5:10-11 (MLV Bible)
"My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven."
Song 5:10-11 (LSV Bible)
The Hebrews/Israelites/Jews were different from the Ethiopians/Cushites :
"Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."
Jeremiah 13:23 (KJV Bible)
So Jesus either had a pale skin, like a Syrian, or a little less pale, like a Persian, it could also be that very white, like Solomon.
Jesus had no dark skin nor black skin.
Nor would he be very tall, and he would have short hair like a man, not this long hair of Catholicism.

Some say there is evidence in scripture Jesus was a Nazarene and that would explain the long hair.
Maybe the Song of Solomon description is not a physical discription of Jesus? Having a fine gold colored head with black raven hair?

The (translator revised) chapter divisions are different from the traditional (Jewish) divisions in the OT, and so doing there is an added risk of (however inadvertently) obscuring original authorial intent. With that in mind, it is my opinion that there is a high probability that the introduction of Isaiah 53 is a continuation of the sentiment in the conclusion of chapter 52, the description of His ascending as a root out of dry ground and subsequent (inglorious) appearance (Is 53:2) could well be speaking to in the same context that "His appearance was marred more than any man (Is 52:14)/

The Apostle John said (Jesus Christ) His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters. Revelation 1 :14-15

If a law enforcement officer broadcast lookout for a person fitting this description would they look for a white person or a black person?

They would make the dispatcher do a drug test.

huh. ok
my pastor said he was the runt, or maybe he was just comparing David with Goliath.
Not sure what 'ruddy' means...I thought it meant 'red-haired'.

Nothing much was said about Jesus looks though. Just because David may have been good looking doesnt mean Jesus was.

 

[Lanolin]

when Jesus was transfigured his face became shiny and his clothes were so bright white they glowed.

Did you know polar bears have white fur but theyve actually got black skin.
most humans as they age their hair will go white (or translucent) no matter what their skin colour is.

In the old english sense, doesn't 'fairest' mean 'most beautiful' rather than 'whitest'? By whatever measure, He is best looking among black men, and white men, and asian men and... well, by now, you get my drift.
