Tie between thrace and northeast but I’m slightly leaning towards northeast as laz and circassians seem lighter than Greeks and Bulgarians to me.

hard to say . but in my experience provinces like Tekkrdag , Kastamonu, Denizli , Izmir

so probably northwest until Samsun (included) and far west provinces down until denizli

east of samsun there are also a decent amount of light people but the number reduces compared to prior and some "very swarthy" individuals become more than prior

Thrace, NW and then North ans North-East are tied. All of those regions don't look exotic anyway so it's all good

mostly agree but you can find more blonde in northeast than nortwest or northern areas imo

but light brown is more common in nw/northern than ne imo and pigmentation average rank is like u ranked imo, u understand what i mean? u can find more exotic blondish types in ne but on average still nw is a bit lighter i guess.

Skin tone vs hair color is what you mean but even then NW/Thracians would have more blonde haired people than NEs. But I haven't observed that well so who knows

you guys whitewash northeast turkey a little ....they are not as light as you make them out to be .
i know tons of blonde guys/girls from provinces like rize, trabzon etc. even it's a bit stereotype in here. but also there are tons of swarthy looking people from northeast.

that's why i'm saying nw is probably a bit lighter on average. ne have two types.
