• 生白いなまじろい
  i-adjectiveThe color sense: a face or skin that is pale, pallid or pasty-looking. Use it when describing an unhealthy, washed-out complexion, such as someone who is ill or frightened.
• ワイドエリアネットワーク
  nounAlso the computing sense: a full katakana rendering of 'wide area network'. It spells out what ＷＡＮ abbreviates, but is a longer and much less frequently used way to say it.
• 高帯域ネットワークこうたいいきネットワーク
  nounAlso the computing sense, glossed as 'wide area network; WAN'. Literally suggesting a high-bandwidth network, it is a technical term and seldom the word you want for everyday references to a WAN.
• なまっちろい
  i-adjectiveThe color sense, like 生白い: pale, pallid, wan, pasty. A colloquial word usually written in kana alone, describing an unhealthy-looking pale complexion.

For the color sense ('pale, pallid') use 「生白い」 or 「なまっちろい」; for the computing sense (wide area network) use ＷＡＮ, 「ワイドエリアネットワーク」, or 「高帯域ネットワーク」.
