This morning Apollo described my feet as green. That's what olive skin looks like, I told him and only half convinced myself, when it doesn't see sun for a while.
Apollo is a wonderful brown. You are perhaps a lovely olive. I have only a single Mexican great-grandfather and am otherwise what is kindly called "white" but in my experience is mostly a grubby pinkish beige sort of thing. In summer I am olive(ish) but in winter I am but a dingy yellow. Tell him to cut you some slack, for goodness sake. Or take you to Hawaii for a month, if he's THAT particular. Hmmm, Hawaii....
