    I’m curious too because I’m starting to think I’m close to be “true neutral”. I have a slight olive undertone too. I considered myself soft summer in the color season system but the only 100% sure thing is the “soft” part since I gravitate a lot around the soft autumn palette too and pure white and black are too much, plus boldly saturated colors are not for me.

    But both navy and orange suit me if they are muted. Greens and pinks, reds and lilacs and purples, any brown or grey being warm or cool… I am unable to see any washing out at all. True red (that color everyone says it suits all seasons), intense mustard, yellowish army and yellowish turquoise are the only colors I can say are awful on me because they pull up the yellow in my olive and make me look sick, but the same color in different shades (like wine red/coral, soft mustard, sage or teal) work well instead. So I’m pretty confused about it, because I am an artist well trained in color but on myself I can’t see any difference just by color temperature.
