Arjun , draupadi, krishna all 3 of them r called dark complexion .
I searched 4 draupadi somewhere she is described as black beauty , some where as dusky beauty .
Dusky complexion is somewhere like bipasha basu I guess ( I can be wrong also ).
Dusky in hindi is known as savla as krishna's one name is regarding this savla thing only .
Krishna's idols represent him as black , like Krishna's idol in kunjbihari mandir vrindavan is black in colour , shri jagarnath ji is also represented as black.
I remember during virat yudh when Uttar asked arjun about his 10 names , arjun replied he got name krishna by his father & his complexion is rare on this earth.
I found arjun name meaning it's white, clear or silver , there is a tree also name as arjun.
Or their complexion was like lord Vishnu is shown in tv blueish kind of .
So i m bit confused regarding d color, what exactly their complexion was.
As far as I know Krishna is described as Neel Megha Shyama, i.e. colour of rain filled clouds.
So he's quite dark not blue as described.
And Arjun's name was Arjun because he was born under Arjun tree.
