Jen would have the best answer but I think you're on the right track with Olive. Possibly also Warm Gold, too. If Olive suits you, you might like adding a touch of WG in summer when you tan as that'll bring out the golden tones.

Definitely Olive! Try about a 1 scoop color to 10-12 Ivory. It is true that a litlel Warm Gold might help as you get a tan, but I have similar coloring and have found that my Olive mix matches fine with a tan for me. I think the Warm Gold will be too yellow for you right now.
