Olive skin

Olive skin is a human skin tone, roughly corresponding to Types III, IV, and V on the Fitzpatrick scale of pigmentation. The term describes lighter brown tones with greenish, yellowish, or golden undertones, such as the light tan.

People with olive skin can sometimes become paler if their sun exposure is limited. However, olive skin still tans more easily than light skin does, and generally still retains notable greenish or yellowish undertones.
