The British isles, not suprisingly do not differ much than countries lying at similar latitudes. If one country at these latitude has relatively darker features it is more Poland, which seems to be quite "darker" than Belarus, Germany or United Kingdom.


Those datas in decreasing order:

Finland 76
Sweden 75
Norway 73.5
Estonia 69.5
Denmark 68.5
Latvia 66
Netherlands 62
Germany 59.5
Lithuania 59
Scotland 57.5
England 55.5
Belarus 55
United Kingdom 54.5
Czech republic 51
Ireland 52
Poland 48
Russia 47.5
Wales 46
Austria 45.5
Slovakia 45.5
Belgium 44
Switzerland 41.5
Ukraine 41
France 35.5
Slovenia 30.5
Hungary 28.5
Croatia 25.5
Bosnia, Herzegovina 21.5
Romania- 17.5
Italy 16.5
Spain 13.5
Serbia 13.5
Bulgaria 13.5
Portugal 11
Albania 9.5
Greece 7
What means light hair? lightbrown to light blonde? Most brits have medium/mousy brown hair, then darkbrown/black, then lightbrown/darkblonde, then red and the least common is light blond.

If light brown means anything from lightbrown to any shade lighter (including red) then I doubt anything above the 40% mark of britons would actually be considered fair haired. Poland as a whole is slighty blonder than the UK, Russia is blonder than both of those countries.

Central Europe is hard to define as Europe looks like Swiss cheese, with all those huge irregular bodies of water surrounding and protruding into the land mass...

"Light" is everything that is not black and dark brown, not only light blond, you already knows that.
The limit between colors is subjective; but what the study is objective in the way is give an indication relatively to other European countries (bases on the same criteriums). The fact you will endlessly continue to deny is that the UK is statistically, among the lighter countries of Europe, wathever the existance of Zeta-Jones or Tom Jones... Everybody except you (and some British here that will deny every reality they don't like) knows that.

Anyway that's meaningless discussing with you since you don't hav any idea of what Europe and European countries are like, and you will continue trolling on that endlessly.

What is your point? Why you are always trying to talk British people down an present them as "non-European" or "dark". Did you have a dark-haired British girlfriend who cheated on you or what?

No, the british (trow Irish in) are just noticeable darker than the rest of northern europe.

The person in denial is you, who tries in every moment to distance the UK and France, Turning France in a typical romance bull fighting country and ENgland in a thor-look-alike northern european one, both very distant from the really.

For me the British just look closer to the people in northern france (not exactly but somewhat similar)
