The color pearl is a pale tint of off-white. It is a representation of the average color of a pearl. [dubious – discuss] The first recorded use of pearl as a color name in English was in 1604. [1] The color is used in interior design when an off-white tint is desired.
When the paint is wet it is pink in color but upon drying it regains its original white color. As cited in patent, this property of the paint enabled two or more coats to be applied on a wall properly and evenly. The previous coats having dried would be white whereas the new wet coat would be distinctly pink.
This article is also about off-white colors that vary from pure white in hue, and in chroma (also called saturation, or intensity). Colors often considered "shades of white" include cream, eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, and vanilla. Even the lighting of a room, however, can cause a pure white to be perceived as off-white. [1]

From the 1970s to the 1990s it was, along with the color bone , one of the standard interior paint colors used in many tract homes in the United States and especially apartment complexes.
