Fair olive?

I could really use some help. I am trying to figure out if I might have fair olive skin?

 

So I can be anywhere from fair to tan. If I'm not in the sun I tend to be fair and I can often see a shallowness/gray teng to my skin along with some pink in my cheek area. 

 

In the summer I usually burn once then tan the remainder of the summer.  My hair is naturally a level 5-6 brunette and I have brown eyes.

 

I have been told people see pinks, yellows, cool tones, neturals. However I always feel like I look washed out.

Re: Fair olive?

@Sherrenee23   I definitely detect some green undertones in your neck area so you’re absolutely right!  Finding fair olive toned foundations can be a bit of a challenge as most brands cater to pink or yellow tones, so I recommend getting a green colour corrector and adding a tinge of green to your closest fair neutral foundation matches and mixing it into your foundation on the back of your hand.  It’s the easiest way to wear whatever brand of foundation you’d like and still get a perfect match.  
The pink in your skin is your blood so people may think that makes you cool toned but the skin itself is neutral.
