Actually most patients will notice their eyes or even gums first, before the rest of their body. So no, it isn't possible to have jaundice without eye yellowing. That's how Patrick Swayze (the actor) noticed his cancer first, his eyes were yellow before anything else.

You need to get a Bilirubin and CBC blood test done. This will detect directly the jaundice or pallor, should anemia be present. Otherwise the noted color is merely subjective.
