Are British and Irish people darker than Central&Eastern europeans ( hair and eye color wise?)

[Bloody]

I think brits tend to be darker haired (and probably eyed too) than most non balkan eastern and central europeans.

Are they?

[FeederOfRavens]

No

I personally think Brits have darker hair (in adulthood) than most central-eastern europeans , but the eye color is similar.
Irish on the other hand are even more remarkably darker haired in comparison, but could be slighty lighter eyed.

Which Central-Eastern Europeans are you talking about?

Czech, Poles and Slovakians in my opinion are all blonder than Brits and Irish.

So are Ethnic Slavs in Russia and Belarus.

Brits are not a very blond race at all.

With Hungarian and Ukranian there could be a conversation, I have seen more natural blond hungarian women than english, who are almost always peroxide blondes.


In eye color they are all lighter than welsh and southern english, but probably darker eyed than irish, and on similar levels to scotland and northern england.

Nej

[JohnSmith]

I would say yes mostly because hair color is darker than central Europeans.

[Smaug]

Depends.

[Bahaman]

No. British are blonder than most central europeans. I'd say that British are blondest northern europeans(bar scandinavians)

No they aren't darker than Central Europeans. Here is a picture of some Galway hurlers. I could post loads of pictures of Irish people and they are all quite similar more or less. Galway is in Western Ireland and people on these boards like to say how dark Western Irish are. Most Irish are blue eyed with fair skin (usually freckled) and the majority hair colour is a shade of brown. We seem to go around in circles always asking the same questions. The thing with Irish people is that they are usually quite uniform in colouring. There are some darker types and some lighter types but they are usually how I have described them in the majority. The thing with the Irish in particular is that they have more brown hair not particularly dark though. If you look at this logically the British Isles aren't particularly sunny they are in fact one of the most cloudy areas in Europe so why would the "natives" be particularly dark?
