I would like to see some information on the usage of olive as the color of one's skin. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.58.149.18 ( talk) 20:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious about the names of the colors on that color chart. Are those the names of tones and pigments from some paint company? If so, are they copyrighted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.120.26 ( talk) 22:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
The web color Olive (#808000) is alternately called "Dark yellow". By that rationale, I believe Olive should be categorized under shades of yellow. Any objections? p b p 15:07, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Avocado green is a similar hue to Olive green. As such, it should be listed here p b p 15:09, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Olive drab which was merged here had a second colour box for olive drab. It may belong here. All the best:

It could be said that olive (color) is just dark chartreuse (color) (and the other way around), with the same distance or separation as any light and dark pair of color shades of green or blue or purple. Even lacking any specific source supporting this, at least it’s self evident enough to warrant an entry under "See also:", I think. Tuvalkin ( talk) 03:58, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
