Turn pale with shock (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blanch

(Other definitions for blanch that I've seen before include "Become like 17 Across, perhaps through fright" , "Turn pale, in fear perhaps" , "Whiten; boil (veg) briefly" , "Make or become pale" , "Remove the colour, turn white" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
