If you exclude the Balkans, then yes I would say EE's have high proportions of light hair and light eyes. The stereotypical Slav is typically a Russian or Pole, who tend to look very Germanic/Scandinavian physically.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that culturally they aren't like Western Europeans in many ways.

East Europeans skin tone is closer to real white color than West Europeans. West Europeans skin tone is like red or light brown. Right?

Truly fair skin in more present in Western Europe, especially in the N.W. corner called the British Isles. The ruddy color is a sign of extreme vascularity. The reason why we see it, is because the skin is transparent. It is in this region, that the frequency of people who cannot tan or bronze becomes the highest on the planet. Eastern Europeans are a fair - skinned people without a doubt, but are not the fairest. Sorry!

I think Russians are pale than Brits.

No. Russians are not paler than British people. They possess a much higher rate of skin type III-IV than the British or Irish by far.

Northwest Europeans especially Irish, British and the Scandinavians are the palest human beings.

Western Europeans tend to have somewhat darker skin with pinkish or red undertones, while Eastern Europeans generally have fairer skin with yellowish undertones.

Because West Euros have more Roman blood than East Euros except Romanians.

Balto-Slavs with dark features tend to exhibit pale olive skin closer to Southern Europeans. Those with light features tend to be similar to NW Europeans in skin pigmentation. Most dark-haired Anglo-Celtic people still have rosy fair skin and Nordics are overwhelmingly light featured. Balto-Slavs fall into the intermediate or variable category of European skin color where light features generally pair with fair skin and darker features pair with olive skin. Anglo-Celtic and Nordic peoples fall into the light skinned category and are fair as a rule. Southern Europeans fall into the darker category and are olive as a rule.
