chlōros χλωρός chlōros

GREEN, PALE, SICKLY-YELLOW — the same word used of green grass elsewhere in the New Testament (Mark 6:39), spanning a color range English and Spanish split on differently. ⚠ Every English version compared here reads the fourth horse 'pale,' with no disagreement among them; both Spanish versions compared read 'amarillo'/'amarillento,' yellow or yellowish — the two language-shelves diverging from each other rather than within themselves. Both are legitimate renderings of a word that covers the whole sickly spectrum from green to yellow to the color of a corpse. → first discussed at Rev 6:8
