Can you have olive skin if born with Blonde/ginger hair and Blue/Yellow eyes. If not why do I have olive skin?

Question

I was born fairly tanned child, through seeing old pictures and being told, but my roots are more dark blonde than ginger but if there is any ginger in my hair it is very faint.

Whenever I go away for a holiday I only have to in to the sun for about 20 minutes and I go straight to a dark tan. Then when winter hits I go pale, not completely white but pinky/yellow white. But if I don't sunbath during the summer, like on a cloudy day my skin is still tanned. I have been told that I am Olive skin toned but I read you have to have Dark brown hair and Dark brown eyes, which I don't have.

I have been told that I am completely English, there is no meditarrian in my genes and I only go to Cornwall, Souht England, for my holidays so it is not the hottest place to go. I was just curious as people say to me that I always fake tan myself and it is pretty annoying!

So the break down is;

Hair colour; Dark Blonde/Ginger
Eye Colour; Blue/Green/Yellow
Skin tone; Very dark in Summer. Light pink/yellow in Winter.
Gene; 100% English (Non-racially)

Thank You

Answer 1

yes its possible to have fair skin and have it be an olive undertone...its possible to have all the different types of undertones for each skin color no matter where ur from and what ethnicity u identify with...i think the only way ud have only one type is if u were a direct descendant of the original colony of humans and it was an in-bread family up until now...lol...imagine what a person would look like if one family in-bread with each other for thousands of years and they could survive the changes people have adapted to...that would be one strange looking human.

Answer 2

Im from Europe and was like the only person with a dark tan, darker than most, and used to have light hair, and have green/ blue eyes. Yeah its possible.

Answer 3

Yeah because blondes do tan, by what you said you don't really have any ginger in you so your more likely to tan, where as if the question was 'Can a redhead tan' The answer would be No, It is very rare most redheads burn like myself. xx
