OMG That was sooo funny!!! I sympathize with all your problems since I just finished a quilt for a customer that agave me lots of similar issues. You should be proud of yourself - your end result is gorgeous!!!

I am a lover of arcane, esoteric information. In other words, as my son would say, useless cr_p. Anyway, this nugget is for those of you who share this trait, others should pass.
In color theory, olive is termed a dark shade of yellow. It happens when you add black to yellow dye or paint. Olive drab occurs when the yellow is shaded toward green. I always thought olive green was green with black added.
Now, brown, occurs when you add black or grey to red, rose, or yellow.
So, in a very real sense brown and olive are related as they can both be made by adding black to yellow. Since color terms can refer to the human perception of the color (which is related to visual context) or to the underlying physical properties like wavelength, it is understandable that we mere humans can mistake olive for brown.
I love the internet.

ROTFL, I would never have attempted to change your mind about color likes and dislikes. After all, I love (let me shout that - LOVE) red but do you know, I have actually heard that some people don't. How shocking! How barbaric! How utterly
incomprehensible!
incomprehensible!
