Good question. Now I am also confused if it is the shell colour or the skin colour.

We also have the phrase gandami rangat to describe the same glowy olive complexion. Not many people realise and want to highlight exactly how attractive and pleasant the olive complexion (which is generally the skin tone of the majority of Pakistanis) is considered in Pakistan.
