It's a high probability both she and Jesus were black; not sure about Jewish.

Not exactly. This belief stems from the belief that Mary was born of Black Jews yet there is little factual or anecdotal evidence to support it. What we know is she was from the Tribe of Judah of the House of David.

What is known is that Jesus was from Galilee. Scientific evidence of the people of Galilee of the time show that if he looked like them which is likely he would have had olive skin, brown eyes, and red hair.

So no not black but not white either. Each culture has tended to portray Jesus with their own characteristics.

What's notable about the olive skin, brown eyes, and red hair is these are traditionally Jewish traits. In many european paintings Judas is painted this way to distinguishe the "traitor" as jewish. Most likely all of the disciples and Jesus had many of these traits, only a few of the disciples were of the Northern tribes which had fairer skin and straighter hair.
