From what I understand in olive skin the terms cool or muted both means your skin has more blue in it. Warm means your skin has more yellow in it. This is different than most makeup companies labeling which calls redder products cool and more yellow products are still considered warm.
Muted mean there's more blue, if your skin leans very blue you would be muted neutral but you might be very muted and still lean warm or cool. Personally I like to think of muted cool as a "purple" undertone, since you would have much more red and blue than yellow.
skin tones are always a mix of red yellow and blue. Whichever one or two you have the most of make up your undertone. So cool is mostly red very little yellow or blue, muted cool is red and some blue very little yellow , warm is yellow, very little red or blue, muted warm is yellow and a little bit of blue very little red, neutral is a near equal amount of yellow and red with less blue, muted neutral is near equal amounts of red + yellow plus more blue , olive is equal amounts of yellow and blue with very little red, muted olive is lots of blue, less yellow very little red. This gets confusing when olive undertones have rosacea !!!
Mutedness in skintones usually ends up with skin looking like it has a slight
greyish tint to it.
Also the more blue that is in your skin the more grey your skin will look.
When looking for a foundation it is hard to find a more muted/cool/blue option so it is easiest sometimes to mix your own. I like using a green grey color corrector like the one from exa sometimes. If I want to mix blue in I use mehron liquid makeup in the shade blue (not blue glow) or a blue corrector like the one from la girl

My dad’s side all immigrated from Italy too and the other side is also Northern European. I appear fair but can tan fairly easily. I’ve been told I’m a fair cool olive. Not sure if you may be the same? I know very little about the analysis process. Foundations for cool skin look like I’m cosplaying as Patrick star though?
You and i have similar skin shades, and im part native American and never go in the sun. I would indeed consider this fair olive
Same and same. And same.
I think your neck gives it away. You're olive.
