With the whole Hunger Games Katniss casting drama, apparently, other people had a different working definition.
Yeah, growing up in NJ, with a lot of people of Mediterrean descent, olive just meant ... olive. Greek or Italian or Portuguese.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That was confusing to me, too, because I have (very pale) olive skin as an american of Italian descent.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have no idea what olive skin looks like.

John Turturro or Antonio Banderas. Lea Michelle from Glee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is clearly like the blond thing for me, because I see no similarity between the Turturros and and Banderas.

Olive skin isn't just one tone, though. Just like any other kind of skin. It's a range.

To me it is an undertone- like blue, pink or yellow. Except green. Like plei said, and I learned it from doing stage makeup. But I accept that that isn't the generally accepted definition

Yeah, but it was until really recently, damn it.

Who were the other two?
