Olive skin is a human skin color spectrum. It is often associated with pigmentation in the Type III[1][2] to Type IV and Type V ranges of the Fitzpatrick scale.[3][4] It generally refers to light or moderate [Tan (color)|tannish]] skin, and it is often described as having yellowish, greenish, gray, or golden undertones.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

People with olive skin can sometimes become more pale if their sun exposure is limited. Lighter olive skin tans more easily than does fair skin, and generally still retains notable yellow or greenish undertones.[14][15][16]

Geographic distribution

Type III pigmentation is frequent among populations from parts of the Mediterranean, Great Britain, Ireland, Asia, and Latin America.[1][17][18] It ranges from olive[2] to cream skin tones.[19] This skin type sometimes mildly burns and tans gradually.[19]

Type IV pigmentation is frequent among populations from the Mediterranean, as well as parts of Asia and Latin America.[3][20] It ranges from olive[4] to moderate brown, typical Mediterranean skin tones.[21] This skin type rarely burns and tans easily.[19]

Type V pigmentation is frequent among populations from the Middle East,[19] parts of the Mediterranean,[3] parts of Africa,[22] Latin America,[3] and the Indian subcontinent.[23] It ranges from olive[4] to tan, Middle Eastern skin tones.[19] This skin type very rarely burns and tans quite easily.[19]
