Colors for
olive skin.
Olive describes a perceived greenish or gray-green cast, not one seasonal category. Olive skin can appear warmer, cooler, lighter or deeper.
A useful comparison
Treat the listed palettes as contrasting examples, not a prediction. Compare warm muted teal with cool muted blue, then test light versus dark separately.
One trait does not establish a season. Change temperature, depth and clarity separately, and keep the combinations you enjoy.

Gentle olive, warm taupe and rose clay share a softened warmth. Choose colors with a little gray or brown in them, and let neighboring shades blend easily.
Soft Summer
#77CAD2
#72A2CB
#509084
#895B78
Dusty rose, blue-gray and muted pine share a quiet, cool cast. Layer neighboring depths so one very bright piece does not steal all the attention.
Deep Autumn
#489356
#9B605D
#816143
#41511B
Espresso, dark olive and deep warm teal supply depth without the icy edge of Winter. Dark combinations can be rich while keeping their warmth.
Deep Winter

#8952A9
#9A1D77

Blackened berry, deep blue and cool emerald make substantial anchors. A pale cool detail can add definition without turning the whole outfit pastel.

Hair dye, cosmetic coverage and the surrounding clothes can change the balance of a look. The palette examples give you distinct directions to test; they do not restrict people with a shared feature to one family.
