Of the Biblical Four Horsemen, the pale horse Death rides is pale green to represent death and putrefaction. Greek name for the color is “chlorophyll”

Incorrect!

The English word "chlorophyll" is derived from two Greek words: χλωρός, khloros (meaning "pale green"), and φύλλον, phyllon (meaning "leaf").

The German word, Blattgrün ("leaf-green"), makes that perfectly clear to any German speaker.

Regards,
