Green undertones versus red undertones. Start painting blacks and you have blue undertones. ----- It's easier to make flattering portraits with blue and green, if that matters.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

It's an old term and you can be very white and still olive. It's the green that's being referred to in olive though olive skin tans better and burns less than ruddy skin. http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-olive-skin.htm

DQ is most likely olive given his country. How dark an olive is another question.

Was Solomon an Israelite or was he a Hittite?

I've done quite a bit of research especially into NT history, but also OT history and I'm not familiar with the "swarthy people" - did they live during NT times or OT times?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
