Olive Green is not actually a standard color as it varies widely depending on each individual's idea of the color. Manufactured versions also vary widely as do the pigments used. Normally I would suggest that you refer either to our "Color Mixing Swatch Book" or "Blue and Yellow..". But we now have a new book devoted to this (the most problematical area for artists) it is simply called "Mixing Greens". It is an inexpensive, pocket sized book which will answer virtually any question on this subject.
