I just recently learned:
The word that was translated into pale, actually means green(IIRC-a light green)-and as you correctly stated Death rides the horse and is followed by Hades. Authority over a fourth of the earth to kill “with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.”

I never thought it made sense to say a pale green horse though-so much better to say a pale horse. Ha.

Greeneyes; That is correct. The word is Chloros, pale green. (We also get the word chlorophyll from it as well.) In this case it is not a wholesome green, but a color associated with decaying flesh.

With that image, its Time for bed! Good night!

It is supposed to be the color of a corpse that is starting to rot.
