Olive skin
As it's such a short article, we could perhaps stick with just one image? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:57, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

i wouldnt mind that but another user would want 2 pictures to show the difference between average and pale olive skin as he keeps removing my edits and puts cristano ronaldo and the other picture back when i remove them because they dont have olive skin at all, just tanned. i think these 2 pictures show it nicely :D
 * Ah, OK. Those two look fine to me (I guess with Ronaldo and Giselle, you can't tell how much is sun tan or cosmetics) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:15, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

indeed. but there is so many skin tones in the world its impossible to categorize really... and lighting can completely change what a skin tone looks like. the article on olive skin for example. alot of it doesnt make sense. human skin is obviously not colored by carotenoids but the reference says it is. It also says that melanin is blue??? lol :D melanin is different shades of brown and red depending on your genes. Eumelanin and phenomelanin. I want to edit the article so that people who read it get proper information about what olive skin is but I cant find proper information and if I remove the obviously false information, there will be too little :(
 * Yes, it is tricky getting good sources - especially as the classifications we use for skin colorations are to a large extent arbitrary - as you say, there aren't really any accurate categorizations -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
