I thought mousy was warm undertones, like blonde and brown mixed. Whereas dishwater is cool undertones, blonde and gray.

Mousy means messy, not a color. Unkempt hair in need of taming.

This is incorrect. A simple google result gives:

Mousy is a drab, pale, or dull light brown/greyish hair color. It is commonly used to describe a neutral, non-descript shade that resembles a mouse's fur.

Color Profile: It is often described as a light, slightly cool-toned brown or a "dirty blonde".

Nobody with shiny healthy brown hair ever gets called mousy.

If it's light brownish - it can absolutely be called mousy brown.

Only if it’s messy, undone, and dirty looking.

You've seriously never heard of the expression "mousy brown"? Good grief.

I have head it and it’s always said about messy hair. Nobody has ever said someone’s beautiful and well styled hair was a luscious mousy brown. It’s brown, dry and a hot mess.

mousy does not equal messy.
Mousy is the color. Mice have pretty neat fur. Not sure where the connnection with mousy and a mess comes from.

Because it is never used as a complement. It’s a slight to some bad brown hair. Where do you live that people routinely use the term mousy in a nice way to dicuss a very particular shade?

NP. "Mousy" is absolutely a reference to color. I have never heard someone attempt to argue that it means "messy."

Are ditchwater blonde and mousy "messy" brown the same person?

If so, a visit to the audiologist might be in order.

It is offensive for "white" people to describe other people as "olive" or "almond-eyed. "

Some "white" people have olive skin and describe themselves that way in looking for color tips for clothing and makeup. It's a yellow/green undertone, as opposed to a pink/blue one. Mediterranean Europeans often have it, eg Spanish people that are not Celts.

Yes, a white person referring to someone as having "olive skin" is not racist, lol. Plenty of white people have olive skin, and "pale olive" is a term used often in makeup forums and social media.

Most olive toned people are actually white people.

No it’s not.

Olive is a color. To be olive toned, is to simply have coloring that tends to have golden undertones that can be yellow/green in winter and in a paler state. It’s not a racism term.

Yes. I’m Irish-Italian with blue eyes, dark hair and have olive skin. When I buy tinted moisturizer, it’s always the warm tones- light tan that match my natural skin tone. I tan, don’t burn.
