prettygoodwordsallow (SAL-oh) - adj., having a yellowish sickly color.
Especially used to describe skin -- think jaundiced or someone nauseated, but can also just mean pallid. There's also a noun, used in the UK for a few species of broadleaf willows, but that's a separate word (from Latin salix, willow). From Middle English salowe, from Old English salu/salo, from PIE, with cognates in several IE languages.
