It varied just as people today do. Many Vikings weren't pure Scandinavians. The Vikings raided many countries in Europe and in the Middle-East and often would bring back women from different countries resulting in a mixture of people. Ranging anywhere from the lightest pale skin, to olive skin. They were well dressed and well groomed, long haired and bearded, with colored tunics made of wool or linen, and trousers, arm rings, and sometimes capes.

The blond image of Scandinavia is a stereotype. They had different colored hair, mostly Brown as typical Scandinavians have now. Among brown were Blond, Red, and Black hair.
