White, gold, blue, pink, and black as far as I know.

Yes, most people think pearls are classic white or cream in colour but they do come in many shades and make for much more interesting jewellery when combined with other precious stones. I use a UK Jeweller who specialises in non-uniform shaped and multi coloured freshwater pearls mainly from China to make wonderful and original necklaces, bracelets and pendants. See the link below for examples.

The natural color of a pearl result from a combination of several factors:

1. Body Color The predominant basic color of the pearl.

2. Overtone The one or more colors that overlie the body color. On black pearls these colors are usually easiest to see in the lighter areas of the pearl. On white pearls they are easier to see in the darker areas.

3. Iridescence A play of lustrous colors. They may be like those of the rainbow, or they may be a subtle combination of colors such as pink, blue, green and silver. The colors of the pearls change when you move them in your hand.
