Proper studies, this map can describe only something on genomic level. But French User´s map is more adequate at least as regards of the real appearances of the real people. You have never been to this region here! You seem really to believe some Lithuanians or Russians from Moscow are lighter pigmented than anybody else, lol.
You don't know where I have been, so being acting like a fool. I never said that Lithuanians and Russians are lighter-pigmented than all other Europeans!!! you have English language comprehension problems!
Im speaking about physical appearance, most of people in those pictures dont look germanic, neither the English do as a whole. They dont stand out in southern europe the way Scandinavians, Dutch or Germans do, British and Irish look western european, not teutonic, germanic or Nordic at all.
Those dutch on the other hand look like germanic or teutonic people
Hey Cliff, I have posted that picture before. No one is saying that blonde hair isn't common amongst Dutch people. My mom is 100% Dutch in ancestry from the town of Zevenaar in the Gelderland Province, and she has (dark) blonde hair and green eyes. However there are many English/Irish who are blonde too. The Dutch are the closest population to the British and Irish people. In both countries, brown hair is still the most common hair color and blue eyes are most common eye color in Ireland and Britain, I'd say also the same in the Netherlands especially the northern regions at least. Small differences, Britons have more of the light brown (mousy), while the Dutch have more of a golden brown type I'd say. The British and Irish more often combine dark brown hair and blue/green eyes than the Dutch, due to a higher proportion of light eyes. In both Irish and Dutch population.
These are Dutch folks. So according to you, only the ones with clearly blond hair are Germanic? You been reading "Mein Kampf" for too long. Get out of that nonsense!

You posted this map and told this map told everything about the pigmentation or smth like that...If to look at it carefully you see that Lithuanians, Russians (as well and in fact Belorussians) are marked as the lightest in this map. I don´t know what did you want to say

Sure you didn't know. I did not make that map, O.K.! It was made based on a study based on the frequency of genes for light hair and light eyes amongst European populations. Lithuania, Byelorussia and the adjacent parts of Russia are on the easternmost part of what we may call as Europe lightest-pigmented area. Blonds are not only confined in northern Germany.

Just for clarification sake, what would you class as light brown, mousy hair? I think someone like Steven Gerrard is a good example (can't post images at the moment but you can Google it). And what would be an example of golden brown as a comparison?

Yeah Steven Gerard has mousy hair and sort of grayish-blue eyes.
The Welsh and the Southwest English actually look closer to Northern Spanish, Irish although overlap with the Isles they tend to have their own looks, but still look more western european than proper germanic or nordic..
FYI, CliffofDover. Although contrary to you theories. Blonde and red hair are common in the Celtic Fringe. Celtic people are by the way good-looking, this is why Norwegian and Danish Vikings took Celtic wives to live with in their new found homes of the far-north (ICELAND, Faroe Isles). Why did Teutonic (Germanic) Vikings go for Celtic women, instead of other Germanic people of the Netherlands, northern Belgium, Germany, etc... I'll tell you, because they knew better. The Southwest English, Welsh people look nothing like North Spaniards, in fact the French, West German, South Dutch people are even genetically closer to them!
The stereotypical "dark" Welshman is definitely not the average. By the way, the most common eye colour in Wales is blue ( ScottishDna Project), so why link them to Iberians? Just because there are some dark-haired, dark-eyed, it doesn't make them Iberians! There were dark-haired Vikings too, why not link them?
