61 Types of Pearl Color

John Spacey, September 02, 2020

Pearl is an off-white color based on the classic color of the gemstone of the same name. As a gemstone, pearl comes in both natural and cultured varieties with the natural variety being generally more valuable. Both natural and cultured pearls come in a large number of colors that can include white, off-white, beige, pink, silver, brown, green, blue, black, yellow and gold. Pearls are iridescent such that they have a slightly different color depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions. As such, flat depictions of pearl color on a digital technology are typically disappointing as is the color of artificial pearls used for costume jewelry. Rare pearls can rank amongst the most expensive of jewels. For this reason, pearl is often used as a marketing term for colors and products, particularly off-whites and black colors. The following are common types of pearl color.
