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?

Had a coworker who turned shockingly pale just after and before a serious illness. Also had a boss who literally looked green because of a migraine. I did not think it was possible and figured it was metaphorical like green with envy until I saw his face.
