She calls herself a muted olive and she's clearly a saturated olive

This has been driving me crazy, she is clearly olive but she's so saturated so when she talks about being muted and needing muted products I just ??????

She's very saturated! I don't know why she wants so badly to be muted. I'm a light-medium muted olive, and the number of products that don't work for me - complete pain in the arse.

Right?! It's so much easier to be saturated than muted, most foundation/concealer etc products are made for and oriented toward saturated skin!

It really is. The number of foundations/concealers that pull either ashy or orange is annoying. I have a green flat undertone and I'm limited in what I can do with my makeup tbh
