I'm curious, because I was just reading the ASoIaF wiki trying to learn about the Martells and it said the have an 'olive' skin tone. Everyone tends to draw them as ambiguously brown. Then, here, you call Ben Stiller 'olive' skinned - how do you decide what descriptor to use for various skin tones? What even is olive skin then. So confused.

Olive looks different depending on how much sun it gets, but you can tell it apart from what people call white because even at its palest it still has this sort of yellowish-green tint to it, and at its darkest it looks brown or a light brown. It tans easier than white skin.

I wondered about the name because I've only ever seen green and black olives, but then someone linked a picture to the variety people refer to when describing the skin:

Look at the very light brown ones:



When it's at its palest it does get tricky to tell, depending on the lightning of the picture.

3 and 4 is what I call "olive", 1 and 2 "light" (if the illumination isn't tricky and it looks like it's a one 1 I call it "pale") and 5 and 6 "dark". I try to add more adjectives to specify sometimes, like if it's tanned or not.
