eli5: Do people actually visibly turn pale (ex. when they realize something awful, when they’re scared, etc)?

I’m not sure if “turning white/pale” is an exaggeration or if people actually do turn pale in certain situations. I’ve never witnessed it myself, anyone here who has?

My daughter got her fingers slammed in a door at a friend’s house. The dad brought her home and I knew immediately she broke her fingers due to her pale white face and blank expression. Pure shock.

Yes, her face was noticeably “white as a ghost”
