hausoftruecrime:‘Pallor mortis’ is a stage of decomposition where the skin of a deceased corpse appears very pale and somewhat hard to the touch. After blood circulation stops, vessels under the skin burst, and the blood is pulled down to the lower extremities of the corpse. After six hours the blood pooling becomes fixed, discolouring the skin bright red. The uppermost extremities, however, can appear very pale, with a faint bluish tinge. -- source link
