사용 패턴：
the pallor of [someone's] face
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes use *pallor* like an adjective (e.g., *He looks pallor*). This is incorrect. *Pallor* is a noun, so you should say *his pallor*, *her pallor*, or *the pallor of his face*. Learners may also confuse it with the common adjective *pale*; *pale* describes the skin directly, while *pallor* is the condition or quality of being pale.
