I disagree with your take on olive skin-toned people. Not all olive skin tones are warm-toned. This information is outdated. I have yellow skin, so I am cool olive, and blue-reds look great on me. However, green pulls out the green in my skin, making me look even greener.

[maralavellan]

I'm olive, and anything remotely warm or orange-leaning looks absolutely awful on me. Red and blue are some of the best shades I can wear.

[YasmineSNunez]

I am a neutral cool olive and true red and blue leaning red loves me. Green has to be a dark pine green, that works on me but all other greens make me look more green, its awful.

[thehardercandy]

I'm a cool olive, and blue based reds bring my skin to life, as well as blues. It's always interesting to hear other perspectives, but I totally disagree, respectfully.

[szilagyiangela]

Well, I thought I was olive, but these colours don't work for me at all. Especially the orange. Makes me look sickly.

[darlamerrill]

Pretty sure I'm olive and your right about the blue. Reds kind of hard to wear but I'm going to try the red orange.

[RuffiRaggaMuff]

Thank you 🙏🏼
That blood orange is fantastic and I can wear a spiced tomato. Very informative 💕

[French-Kiss]

Light olive skin. I could never figure out why I couldn’t wear blue. With light skin and dark hair, so many Winter palettes featured blue. I can only wear blue if a lot of yellow has been added — teal or turquoise. I’ve found a tomato red works well. Now I understand why.

[Jaramoustafa]

I love this thank you❤️❤️❤️ so helpful as always. I would love to see hair colors for olive skin tones

[Shirl-szsl]

Thank you! This was helpful for me! I always thought that I leaned olive, but according to this video I clearly am not. I think I'm actually on your Blue chart in the MB4-5 range. Now to figure out what to do with that information 😅

[Just_Kirsty]

I love the details I can learn from this video, really. They do confirm some things I thought might be true and clarify other things I was a bit confused about.
By the way: I do wear only gold jewelry by now and I was absolutely stunned about how much different I feel by doing this. I basically exchanged every single piece I wore and not only do people tell me, it suits me better than silver, I feel so much better too. But that switch made me feel like certain colors I wore are actually not great for me on an energetic level, honestly, I thank you so much for kickstarting this journey. I really wish we didn't have so many things on the list we have to spend money on so I could show my appreciation in booking your services, actually supporting your business, but that's absolutely impossible atm.
It is such a blessing that you create and share your perspective and knowledge with the www, honestly.

Unrelated question (I hope I didn't already ask this): Do you feel color energy and do you sense color? Can you tell what color a scent would have or what color a musical composition has? I think this might just be sensing energies in general and your brain creating a connection with something you feel most at home with. But I might be wrong here. E.g. all my favorite perfumes have a similar color to me. Some are more rich, others more subtle, but they all share similar qualities OR sit in a triadic relation to the others. The types of music I prefer to listen to comes down to a similar color family as the perfumes, really and that really made me smile yesterday, because I do think there is a specific connection existing, but I just haven't fully figured it out yet.

[Taichientaoyin]

I see yellow in my skin and even greens but also when I tan some parts are like chocolate. So confusing. But I have yellow 😅

[under_N_over_it]

i’m definitely olive!!! i made some palettes of my skin tone with an app i have & they definitely match colors on your yellow chart. i have some of those light yellowish gray tones in me as well. i’m hoping i can learn from your channel bc i’ve been so lost trying to find my season & colors trust suit me.

i can see you don’t reference cool & warm. and that always confuses me bc some people say Olive is an undertone vs. an overtone. and some people say all olives are cool. so i truly get so lost. but i can definitely see a difference in different olive tones. so do you have a certain system you use for olives? i know not every olive skin tone works with the same colors or would that just be because of the chroma or deep vs. light etc. ?

[amaranthx]

This is helping me understand depth and chroma better. My partner is olive and looks absolutely awful in primary red and primary blue, but looks great in muted or deep reds (like burgundy) and deep blues (like navy). His best colour is green, deep shades.

[cookinglikeacheif]

I am olive but baby blue looks so good on my skin.

[katitadeb]

I'm a warm olive, an "autumn" in seasonal color system, and I always felt the "warm" purples and blues in autumn palettes looked awful on me making me appear sallow, and I was so confused since it makes sense warm undertones will look better in "warm" color variations but in practice didn't work. I've always felt indigo and traditionally "cool" purples looked better, and now I understand why!
Thank you for such a unique and refreshing approach in color analysis ❤

[EE_Lopez]

Red looks amazing on me. It’s my super power color and makes me feel wonderful. And there are so many shades of red to choose from. I’m olive toned. Look if you think you look good in red…where it! Frick what anyone says. If you feel good you radiate that positivity and people are drawn to that type of energy. So do what makes YOU FEEL BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. I’m 47 and wasted too much of my life worrying about what others thought of me. Love and light to everyone! I get what you’re saying though.

[tigre]

I'm olive. Similar to Mila Kunis. And my colors are Sapphire, burgundy, baby blue, pinks, light to medium grays and black. But....I also have salt and pepper hair. So I tend to stay away from warm colors as they don't flatter my skintone/hair color combination.

[cutierenesmeegirl]

I definitely have cool toned olive skin.

[YumeraChauque]

Mmmm I was thinking my root skin color is yellow but, I am starting to doubt a bit...I like red(mainly as lipstick) whitch root skin color can benefit from the color red, and how to be sure if you have really found your root skin color?
