I was trying to figure that out, but google isn't helping me. It's either these black and white pictures that don't properly represent their complexion, or paintings and drawings that suffer from the same issues.

Bing has better results than Google, but these people just look white or like weird jews.

Nadezhda Ossipovna Pushkina, née Gannibal, Alexander Pushkin's mother, was one quarter black. East, Central or Western African, historians can't agree.

I bet if you looked up "one quarter black people" or the like instead of autistically searching "quadroon", an obscure term that fell out of use during the Colonial era, you'd get better results.

"Good afternoon my octaroon!"
 
A lot of “half” black people are already more like a quarter black, because most black Americans already have a significant amount of European admixture. I think the average black American is like 20% white, if I recall correctly.

It really depends on the type of nigga tbh. Basketball Americans that come from more racist communities end up being closer to 100% black and just look like west africans that didn't grow up on a diet of crickets. You have redbone niggas that look over whelming black but they have minor amounts of White and Redskin DNA. Then you have the light skins which are probably the closest thing you can find to a quadroon. This is classification is basically a spectrum of mixed niggas ranging from mulattos(50/50 White and black) to the IRL version of the amerimutt meme. If you see a light skin, you should probably avoid them because they're almost always mentally ill.
 
The person's appearance is going to be more and more variable for each generation of "dilution," since we're talking mostly white with a little black.

Of course, someone with one black parent will have half black, half white genes. They'll probably look like you think they'd look.

But that half-black person's gametes don't "know" to divide their heritage up 50/50. A half-black person's child is a quarter black if you're looking at a diagram, but that half-black person's sperm or egg that made half of the quadroon child could have been 99% Grandma DNA, 1% Grandpa DNA. Or vice versa, or 50-50.

e.g.. My mother is by definition 50% Grandpa and 50% Grandma. But there's no way to know without extensive testing if I am 25% (maternal) Grandpa and 25% Grandma, or if I got nearly all of Grandma's genes via my mother and almost no Grandpa. Without DNA testing, that's just aunts saying "aww she has Dad's exact frown."

If you have anyone's family photo albums (and a key to who's who), you can see this play out on the family resemblance level.
