Olive skin-colour green?

Question

I'm confused...if olive is greeny coloured..does that mean I have greeny skin? is that olive skin? or does it refer to something else?

Answer 1

It's more about the undertones of your skin, cool colored skin tones have yellow undertones, warm colored skin tones have pink undertones, and olive colored skin tones have a yellow undertone, but tanner (?) than cool skintones.

Cool Skintone- Reese Witherspoon

Warm Skin tone- Tyra Banks

Olive Skin Tone- Jessica Alba

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

no... it doesnt mean u have green skin.

olive skin just reffers to skin that is a medium tone - not too dark, and not too light.

for example: alot of hispanic people have really nice olive skin.

Answer 4

I have olive skin.  It refers to having a yellow-based skin tone as opposed to pink or peach.  It's a very flattering skin tone to have, and it definitely is not green.
