Mollusks create pearls in a palette of colors, from white to black and almost everything in between. Pearl color refers specifically to the color of the pearl’s body, considered the fundamental color of the pearl.
Colors generally range from cream, to silver-white, to black. But there are also color overtones reflected across a pearl’s surface. In fact, the color of a pearl more often than not is a meld of its body color and its overtone, just as the term “white-rose” will describe a white pearl with a rosy-colored hue.
