Mac Signature Move pulls orange on me

I recently bought MAC Signature Move, but unfortunately, it pulls very orange on my skin. This has actually been a recurring problem for me because most nude lipsticks I buy end up looking either too orange or too red on me.
For the life of me, I cannot understand color theory 😭 I'm a light-medium neutral olive (but I'm that not sure about this yet bc sometimes I do lean warm a bit). I’m just trying to find a nude lipstick that looks like the muted, slightly grayish nude color that Signature Move appears to be in this screenshot.
So I’m wondering: since Alone Time is supposed to be a cooler version of Signature Move, would buying Alone Time potentially give me that muted nude color I’m looking for? I've seen people saying that Alone Time looks too gray and cool for them, but since everything looks orange on me, maybe Alone Time wouldn't wash me out as much as it did to others?
Basically, I’m trying to figure out whether going cooler would actually counteract the orange pull I’m getting from Signature Move.
Would really appreciate any color theory experts’ input because I am LOST 😭
