Hi! What �s the word for "trigue�o" (Spanish) in English? It means neither white nor dark. Thanks |

Since it is about skin color, we often say "olive-skinned", especially with people from around the Mediterranean (although I don �t think I would eat an olive that is that color).

By the way, is the word related to "trigo", so essentially meaning "wheat-colored"? I can see that as a hair color, which I know trigue�o can also be.

Mmmm once I had the same doubt, and I discovered the adjective "olive". Could it fit? |

I did, just giving my point of view 
What I meant with my final question was... Does that adjective fit to your question?
