Olive skin

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Olive skin is a

tan or brownish skin, and it is often described as having tan, brown, cream, greenish, yellowish, or golden undertones.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

People with olive skin can sometimes become paler if their

sun exposure is limited. However, lighter olive skin still tans more easily than light skin does, and generally still retains notable yellow or greenish undertones.[14][15][16]

Olive skin covers III, IV, and V on the Fitzpatrick scale

Geographic distribution

Type III pigmentation is frequent among populations from the

olive[2] or light brown skin tones.[20] This skin type sometimes burns and tans gradually, but always tans.[20][2]

Type IV pigmentation is frequent among some populations from the Mediterranean, including Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East; South Asia, Austronesia, and Latin America.[21][17][3][22] It ranges from brownish or darker olive[4] to moderate brown, typical Mediterranean skin tones.[23] This skin type rarely burns and tans easily.[20]

Type V pigmentation is frequent among populations from the

tan, Middle Eastern skin tones.[20] This skin type very rarely burns and tans quite easily.[20]
