Definition:
Pallor is the kind of paleness that feels meaningful, as though something has drained warmth away. It can come from illness, shock, exhaustion, or cold that reaches too deep. The change is often quick, noticeable in the face, lips, or hands. Pallor carries an uneasy implication: the body reacting before words catch up. The term captures color fading into warning.
