What does the Pale horse of the Four Horsemen in Revelation mean?

Good question. In Strong's Concordance you will find a reference to chloroform (a pale green color).
Horses were used for war. They are very effective during battle and can easily turn the tied of battle between mounted soldiers and those on foot. Understand why your New York City police use horses for crowd control and for tracking criminals inside the city. Engaging an horse on foot is not an ideal situation in battle, you will have to contend with both the rider and the mass and strength of the animal.
Revelation chapter 6 and 9 defines the event in some detail. Further understand that the famine related to that event is explained in Amos 8:11.

∙ 8y agoThe Expositors Bible Commentary says this about the color of the fourth horse: Pale ( chloros ) denotes a yellowish green, the light green of a plant, or the paleness of a sick person in contrast to a healthy appearance. Bluntly speaking then, this horse is the color of death .
Jesus gave us the order of the 'horsemen' in His parallel prophecy found in Matthew 24. Christ explained that in the wake of religious deception (White horse), war (Red Horse) and famine (Black Horse) would come pestilence or disease epidemics (Pale Horse). (Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places).
The 4 horsemen correlate to the first four seals of Revelation 6 with each having a cumulative effect:
Revelation 6:7-8New International Version (NIV)7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, Come! 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
