olive skin
Warm, greenish-brown tone
Olive skin describes a complexion with warm, yellowish-green undertones—the color suggesting the fruit rather than the tree.
The term typically refers to Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Latin American, or South Asian skin tones that tan easily and rarely burn: She has beautiful olive skin that glows in summer.
The shade ranges from light to medium-dark.
