As a Portuguese guy, I'd say I'm more light colored than dark... Although I tan quite easily, becoming a darker shade of light skin.
My hair is dark, almost black, and when mixed with skin can give the impression of an even darker tone.
Dark eyes help complete the look.
If I don't get tanned in the summer, then I'm about as light colored as a German.
Around me, most people are more or less like me. Some are lighter, resembling Nordic pale, some are year long tanned... And, due to the history of African colonies, we also have dark skinned African descendents... And very dark, almost black people from a particular place in Africa, can't remember which specifically...
Curiously, for us Europeans, there is racism between the different African ethnicities! O.o
