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

[JohnSmith]

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.

I agree this thread is a little silly. You find differences among many people and there is a lot of complexity that this thread does not take into account.

Czech and Poles are probably lighter on average.

The only one obsessed with dyeing his hair was some old account you might be familiar with, who used to bleach his hair compulsively at his short age (16 years old) and claimed to be tronder.

Dont push your insecurities into other people's

That is what I was trying to show. This is the most common colouring in Irish. I could post lots of pics of blond Irish as well. The pictures I posted is the most common colouring but there are blonds and redheads as well. Just as an example women are more blond than men and this is true of Irish and don't go on about them having dyed their hair because that is not a common practice especially in the Irish countryside. Anyway I said they have mostly light brown to mid brown hair not particularly dark. I think in a lot of other populations you have more extremes than in the Irish one.




Anyway these girls are an U14 team so no dyed hair.

[Grace O'Malley]

Anyway I'm not going out of my way to post pictures of a particular type. These are the first pictures that I come across that I post. It gives people a good idea of what Irish people look like and there is a big thread on this forum on the subject. I post different pictures every time so that people have an accurate portrayal.

They don't look particularly blond from that picture. They don't appear very different than the Irish and they are a younger age group.

Most Czhech dye their hair blonde. They are not germanic like English.
