How could be the result with these numbers?
For the South (region that I think I'm more informed), I used my own estimation that is a mix of number of Official Census, Genetic Studies, Studies about Surnames, Diverse Studies (Migration, Marriage between ethnicities, Slave trade by regions, Personal Knowledges and other studies; Post 163

Estimation 2# (with some modification) Ranges
Santa Catarina 85-90
Rio Grande do Sul 80-85
Paraná 75-80
São Paulo 70-75
Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, DF, Goias, Mato Grosso do Sul 65-70
Alagoas, Ceará, Paraíba, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Mato Grosso, Rondonia 60-65
Acre, Tocantins, Piaui 55-60
Bahia, Maranhão, Amazonas, Roraima, Amapa, Pará 50-55
You could use the value of 52,5%, 57,5% here etc.
The first is more Euro maybe, the second estimation is less Euro. Both are realist.
São Paulo countryside 76,5% Euro
RMSão Paulo 72% Euro
Why I think RMSão Paulo is not 65% Euro or even under 70%? One reason, there are still many recent Euro immigrants in that city, many of them are 100% Euro and probably as high as 30% are over 90% European.
São Paulo before 1950 was probably as Euro as Buenos Aires if not more, the city was replaced by European immigrants many times, it has considerable Euro-descent people, if ~half of the contribution of the city now is from Northeast and the average Northeast people in São Paulo is probably around 59 Euro/33 African/11 Amerindian, the city simply can't be around 65% European, the average Paulistano if you add all people is not like Daddy Yankee (maybe neither the average Brazilian is like Daddy Yankee to be honest), it is more Euro-shifted, probably Off-White with some African input and minor Amerindian and East Asian.
IMO about 72% European, 18% African, 2% East Asian, 8% Amerindian seems honest and realist, the average Paulistano is maybe brown-skinned and maybe just around 35-40% are White-looking (my opinion), but like I said before, the number of 90%+ European people of the city increases significatly the percentage of the European contribution.
Now São Paulo used to be over 80% European (perhaps even over 85%) before the big Northeast migration, it was a completely different city, completely. That is why people stay mad, the city is desfigured.
