Both offwhite, but I'd never be able to identify the sources of the admixture just by looking at them. Trujillo was part Haitian though.

How does Balaguer display admixed features?

How does Balaguer display admixed features?

Skin color, eyes, and hair to some degree. Anyway genetically I doubt he is fully European.

I basically concur with Sikeliot. They look like they have "something" in them; being Dominican, you'd expect the admixture to be SSA, but, in Balaguer's case in particular, I'd say some sort of Asiatic, so most likely Amerindian. I'd believe it if I were told that Trujillo were about 1/16 black or so.

They appear "exotic" coz they're Dominican, but they're actually white

His father was José Trujillo Valdez, the son of a Spanish sergeant, who arrived in Santo Domingo as a member of the Spanish reinforcement troops during the annexation era, and Silveria Valdez Méndez of colonial Dominican origin. Trujillo's mother was Altagracia Julia Molina Chevalier, later known as Mama Julia, the daughter of Pedro Molina Peña, also of colonial Dominican origin, and the teacher Luisa Erciná Chevalier, whose parents, although originally from Haiti, were predominantly of French origin: her father, Justin Alexis Víctor Turenne Carrié Blaise, was of French descent, while her mother, Eleonore Juliette Chevallier Moreau, was part of Haiti's mulatto class.

Do you think he looks partly non-Euro?

Maybe, the eyes are a bit exotic
