Re Pale Horse:

I believe I’ve also seen It translated as “putrid horse” which implies the pale green.

“I believe I’ve also seen It translated as “putrid horse” which implies the pale green.”

It conveys the sense, but the 4 horses are each described by their color and it might be better to retain the visual rather than the olefactory sense of the of the passage.

Wiki states:

“In the text of Revelation, the main distinguishing feature of the four horses is their color; white for conquest, red for war, black for pestilence and/or famine, and pale (from ‘pallor’) for death.”

Translations with color other than “Pale”.
NASB

“I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him.

3 versions including the The Christian Standard Bible

“And I looked, and there was a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following after him.”
