    How would you define the difference between beige and olive then?

    Olive skin is darker and obviously yellow.

    Are there any examples I posted who are properly olive? These are how darker Europeans generally look when they mostly stay indoors, as opposed to the overtanned sportsmen and actors who are often posted.

    Yeah most of them are "Type II" or "Beige" as said, not olive skinned at all.

    If they are olive skinned then more than 50% of Europe is olive skinned

    I'll give examples from various countries to show what I mean.

    Porgugal:
    Alvaro Amaro -yes

    Nuno Melo - no

    Hungray

    Balazs Hidveghi- yes

    Andras Gyurk - no

    Italy
    Massimo Casanova - yes

    Andrea Caroppo - no

    France

    Francois Alfonsi - yes
    Manuel Bompard - no

    Spain -

    Juan Vernando Lopez Aguilar - yes
    Cesar Luna - no

    I think it's about 1/5 of all men you posted are olive and the rest are beige or cream. Luena doesn't look beige to me, for example. Beige is a browner.

    Yes in hindsight some of these examples are a bit crap. Even so, I still maintain that there are a lot more native Europeans with darker skintones than is often believed to be the case, and not just in the south of the continent either.

    These are not olive-skinned. Mostly Atlanto-meds here of varying degrees.

    Most of them are not olive-skinned. They are generally a type II.

    This is olive-skinned or sallow skinned (and I expected this look when I opened the thread):
