"The skin grafts still retain a new born baby pinkness. The skin deemed damaged but salvageable looks red, hot and melted in places. Patches of my former self gleam white and pale. I'm like a bizarre patchwork of quilt of skin."

- Mockingjay (Chapter 25. pg 352 of American hardback edition)

Katniss describing her skin after recovering in a hospital. She even calls her own skin "white and pale."

People who still cling that Katniss was some dark skinned young woman should actually read the damn book before commenting. Olive skin doesn't mean dark. It means having a greenish under coloring.

These things I actually acknowledged in the comment you replied to with phrases like "Katniss is at least part white", but there's always one on F!S not reading. Daker complexion =/= dark.

That tumblr post isn't quite correct. Olive skin, as I've been told, classifies a range of skin colors, from white to dark. It refers to if the skin has greenish-brown undertones. So, yeah, people are actually referring to the green type of olive.

Italian people tend to light olive skin, and Katniss lived in area that had a large italian population, so people tend to think that her dad was probably italian.

You do realize that Mediterranean people are the defacto olive skinned crowd, right?

They're not the only people on earth who can have an olive tone.

Yes, they are. Their skin color is result of an environmental mutation specific to that region of the world.

No but it's the coined term for the skin color of the people from the Mediterranean (European, Southwest Asian and North African) region?

Ahh, I see what you're saying now. Lawrence's casting is still off, but I get your point.
