Pearl
Do you want to use this color in your promotional items? Here's what you should know!
Pearl is a pale shade of off-white with light pink undertones. It’s named after the gemstone, which comes from living creatures like clams, oysters, and mussels. The color is symbolic of wisdom, enlightenment, innocence, purity, and good fortune.
The pearl has always been considered pure and beautiful. In Ancient Greece, they believed these gemstones were “the tears of the gods.” Royal families would wear pearl necklaces or present pearls as gifts to show off their great wealth.
Examples of Pearl Symbolism
In the “Roaring Twenties,” women known as flappers wore diamonds and long strands of pearls. Their flashy jewelry was a sign of the times as an economic boom was occurring in the U.S.
Before Megan Markle and Kate Middleton married their princes, Julia Stiles starred in this movie about a college student who finds her own Prince Charming. The movie poster uses pearl tones as a nod to her good fortune.
The women in The First Wives Club are wise beyond their years. They receive pearl necklaces as graduation gifts, which they later wear in the finale of the film when they learn what being smart is really about.
Sometimes one color just isn’t enough! Pearl works best with any of these other colors.
