Are the north/central Polish darker or lighter skinned than the central and northern French?

I think that the south Poles are very likely darker skinned but what about the rest? i ask because both countries are on similar latitudes, both contain similar phenotypes like Alpines,Nordics, Med variants, Cro Magnon variants.

Probably about equal, with the French having more lighter and darker individuals while the Polish are more homogeneous. Slavs in general tan better than northwestern Europeans.

It depends, I know enough of milk-white skinned Russians who get burned like Brits with no chance to get tanned. But there's enough of light skinned people who get normally tanned here, this milk-white type is like ~10%.

Poles including those from the south have a lighter complexion than the French as well as other pigmentation regardless of which French people would you like to compare. Albeit one needs to note that a lot of Poles tan extremely easily.

I can't answer but I wanted to say there is no definite difference between northern and southern Poles in terms of pigmentation

Differences are purely statistical but I think Northern Poles are a bit lighter.
Still by a naked eye it is probably impossible to tell if a crowd of people is from the northern or southern Poland easily.
