I like the 'show' of saying a character paled, in response to something unexpected and/or frightening. But, frankly, I don't know if 'paling' is something that occurs across all people or not? I understand it to mean the blood drained from a person's face.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but does 'paling' happen across ancestries/ethnicities/etc?
(I hope I used all the right words here.)
