I am thinking Warm Gold will probably be about the best....I see peach and yellow in the colors you are mixing......Try about 1:8 or 9. Olive might work, too, but that is just kind of a gut feeling...I could be way off.

Rhys is right on. You look cool/neutral to me, too. I agree that Ebony is the way to go for starters, and you might need a smidge of Warm Gold. Ebony does run a little lighter than the other bases...I would probably start at 1:9 or 10 and add more Ivory if necessary. It is easier to add more white for us fair gals when looking for the right ratio.

You have gotten some great advice. The last pic you posted makes me pretty confident that Buttery Gold is for you...If you decided it is too yellow, try Warm Gold, and we can always add some Yellow Color booster to Buttery Gold if it is not yellow enough. I would start at about 1:6 in Buttery Gold and add a little more Ivory if necessary.
For the neck/face thing...this one is always tricky. Even if your neck and face were exactly the same color, they rarely hit the light the same, so they will more than likely always look different. Usually, the color difference is a result of the sun hitting our face and missing our neck over the years. My best advice on this one is to find a medium of the two, but I would probably lean more to the face color. Some also match face to chest more than face to neck, because the face and chest are closer to being on the same plane of view. Experimentation is the key, and you kind of have to come to the understanding that our own skin is different from one part to the other. It is just the way of things. Drastically changing the color of the face or neck to match the other will usually result in something looking more off than what you started with.

Oh and I'm Chinese so I was thinking more towards butterey gold. My neck is a pale yellow, but my face is tanned, so its yellowy slightly orangey and gray and ashy normally from being unhealthy x_x
