pallors
Ghostly skin tones
Pallors is the plural of pallor, an unhealthy paleness of complexion suggesting illness, fear, or death.
Though pallor is typically uncountable—you wouldn't usually speak of multiple pallors—the plural allows for distinguishing varieties or instances: the different pallors of the patients in the ward, the pallors of shock and exhaustion.
