I agree with this. My study found pure Mediterranean(so not including Atlanto-Med, as Atlanto-Med is intermediary as it peaks in genetically intermediary Spain, also looks the part as intermediary) spectrum phenotypes were 3.7% in England, and 1.9% in Wales(Ireland had 0.5% and Scotland 0.7%), which will definitely correlate with skin tones(although I did not record skin tones).
The older studies saying Welsh are more Med than English are likely based on some dumb skull measurements. The Welsh are darker eyed/haired than the English, but I doubt they look more southern.
The Guanche skulls as a whole are unlike those of modern European Mediterraneans, and resemble northern European series most closely, especially those in which a brachycephalic element is present, as in Burgundian and Alemanni series.oldschool anthropologydivided them into clearly differentiated types, which include a Mediterranean, a Nordic, a "Guanche," and an Alpine. The "Guanche" accounts for 50 per cent of the whole on the four islands of Teneriffe, Gomera, Gran Canaria, and Hierro; the Nordic for 31 per cent, the Mediterranean for 13 per cent, and the Alpine

You are wrong. This is the correct ranking of Europeans from lightest to darkest, not only if you take into account skin tone but also hair and eye color:
Icelanders
Finns
Estonians
Norwegians
Swedes
Latvians
Lithuanians
Danes
Scots
Irish
English
Welsh
Dutch
Russians
Belarusians
Poles
Germans
Belgians
Luxembourgers
Ukrainians
Czechs
Slovaks
French
Swiss
Austrians
Hungarians
Moldovans
Romanians
North Italians
Slovenes
Croats
Bosniaks
Serbs
Montenegrins
Central Italians
Bulgarians
Macedonians
South Italians
North Caucasians
Basques
Kosovars
Albanians
Spaniards
Portuguese
Greeks
Georgians
Maltese
Cypriots
Armenians
Canarians

Historically, weren't the Welsh Romanized Celts that were pushed into Wales by the invading Saxons ? I think most Welsh, on an individual basis , can pass as English but once you try moving large swathes of them into England it does not work because the ratio of phenotypes is off. Also, Coon said there is a paleo-atlantid type , in the British isles, that he said sometimes had an ancient Roman Teviec strain and that it was concentrated in Wales (that does not mean it was more than a minority of Wales though). The majority of Welsh are not Paleo-Atlantid but they have more of them than the English, Scots and Irish -- that type looks like nordicized meds so in that sense they don't look southern because they are nordicized.
I might be wrong and you might be totally right but that is what I read about it many moons ago.

It is not! Lightest here is meant by complexion. Read the question above? This is he or she asked if the Irish were the lightest. Icelanders are not lighter - complected than Swedes or Norwegians or Finns, they aren’t lighter - haired or lighter - eyed. They are lighter than Danes.
