Recall that Jesus was a Jew, and Jews of that pre-Diaspora era (hell, Jews currently living in the Middle East, for the most part) were fairly darker than many Jews of European descent these days. I don't think he was what we'd call "black" like Samuel L Jackson, but he definately wasn't as, *ahem* Aryan as he is often depicted in European paintings. He was more of a mocha brown, I'd say.
