These beings thought more in the area of central/western European vs. northern european skin tones... But perhaps the skin tones are something between the former and Mediterranean. Bone structure is not defined, so that is not possible to say. Could be European, could be African or Arabian, but it is unlikely that it is Asian. Skin tone, from before the modern age travel systems, is based on how the local climate and nature is, as skin color adapts more quickly than the less visible physical traits. It can adapt (from what 'thul have heard) within just a fairly small number of generations.
The Fool was described at the start as truly white, so there is some natural color to it. Later on, when it began coloring (liveship-ish), the color was not noted as anything special, so since it was darker than assassin-era, it is probable that the color was fairly equal to that of the populace of bingtown, and that the difference between that and six duchies was not all that great. Most likely the difference between the two peoples are more in bone structure and culture than anything color-wise. Physically, 'thul would guess chalced is fairly in the middle colorwise between those two peoples, considering where they live.
Since the type of geography and climate is fairly equal to that of early medieval Europe, the skin tones are probably similar. Of course, skin tone of that era Europeans is unknown today aside from it being known to be fairly similar to today, so its all guesswork. (well, some scientists might know, though)
