What does PALISH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Slightly pale; faintly light or washed-out in colour.
The ending -ish softens the base word, so a palish sky is not quite white and not quite blue either. Writers use palish for skin, light, fabric and liquids when they want to suggest a colour that is drained but not entirely colourless. It makes a gentle, hedged description rather than a strong one.
