Etymology
Olive-colored comes from the old Latin word oliva meaning 'olive' and the part -colored which means 'having a color'. So olive-colored describes a yellowish-green or grayish-green shade like the skin of green olives, which helps you picture the color used for clothes or uniforms that blend into leaves.
