What skin color was David from the Bible?

King David was a Jew and looked as Jews look today - part of the Caucasian race which has a ruddy or reddish coloring - like ruby-red cheeks - when the skin is healthy:

1 Samuel 17:42New King James Version (NKJV)42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking.
