I was awaiting this thread.
Romanians are definitely darker. Only 3% of Romanians show blondism, which is even lower than Ashkenazi Jews.
Romania is the only country in Europe where Ashkenazi Jews had lighter skin, hair and eyes than their host population.
Northern Italians are lighter than Romanians. I don’t think there is any evidence to support that Romanians are much lighter than the Romans/Lazians they claim descent from.
Maybe Albanians or Macedonians are similar to Romanians, but the Balkan region as a whole is lighter than Romanians.
Romanians have been traditionally viewed as relativly dark by their Slavic neighbors up until the 19th century based on a book I read many years ago.
The complexion of the Romanians is probably much more similar to their Roman anscestors than to the Dacians.

Voivodinians are not not the lightest among Serbs. Serbs from western Serbia, parts of central and Bosnia-Krajina Serbs are lighter, even some regions on southern Serbia, like Kopaonik etc. have lighter people than Voivodina (imo).
Similar i also noticed about Slavonians (darker than Croats from NW and Dinaric Croatia).

Today Romanians have 25-30% blonde haired people, even Gypsies have very high percent of blone hair. Romanians are much more North shifted than North Italians, another thing what Romanais are not monolithic, but is consists of 3 distinct groups (Wallachians, Moldavians and Transylvanians). If you speak mostly about South Romanians (Wallachians), then 50/50 you can somewhere be right.

I should have clarified. I was referring specifically to Prichard’s survey of Vlachs.
The 3% is specifically of Vlachs.
The Vlachs are indeed darker than Serbs.
I am aware that Romanians cluster somewhat more northern than North Italians, but autosomal cluster does not always correlate with Phenotype.
Regarding Transylvanians and Moldovans I don’t know, but from what I gather Székelys and Saxons are lighter than Romanians in Transylvania.

Serbs, to my relatively untrained eye. Although I'm sure there's a good amount of regional variation in Romania.

Genetics doesn't always line up with geography.
Voivodina (Central Europe) is on the same latitude as Southern Romania (Balkans), yet people from southern Serbia are more northern shifted than South Romanians due to Southern Romanians lacking the same amount of Slavic blood.
Voivodina Serbs are not really "native" to Voivodina, but descended from relatively recent Serb migrants from the Balkan Peninsula. They're not going to be genetically more "Central European" than Serbs south of the Danube.

I would guess Serbs but I think it's a toss up. Both populations have a lot of genetic similarities.

Siblings can look different, pigmentation and features wise, let alone specific nationalities.
