Originally, the pale ale was developed in Britain as a bronze to amber-red ale that is translucent. The pale referred to the ale not being dark brown or black as many ales were at the time. One has to remember that this was before the advent of lager (an invention of Continental Europe).

Today Pale tends to refer to golden (more lager like) ales that we see coming out.
