Zazouse here at BYC has a pearled white. She called it a Pearly White.... There is some controversy that its not really a white.... I have no particulars. Its a very pretty bird. White birds here just as well paint a target on them. too many predators.

Sounds awesome...... I would probably prefer that to plain white, but without pics you can't really decide....

mrbellmere promised to put his black eye white picture here saturday not sure if its pearled or not? hope he does it today????

When you say pearly white...are you talking about the color? Like the Buff Dundottes?

The pearl markings on the feather have a different opacity than the feather's background color does, so it really is possible to see white on white. It's kind of like looking thru skim milk and whole milk, they are both white, just different densities of white. Hope that helps clarify. Look at Zaz's pics again you can clearly see what I just explained.... scroll down to #8 in this thread http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5299887 She's got a few more pics on a few other threads, I'm just not energetic enough to hunt them all down, lol.
You can see the opacity difference very clearly in all of her close-up pics of her Pearly Whites

I know, I want a few of that color so BAD, lol. I hatched 782 keets last season, at least 50 of them were pure White... I was so crossing my fingers for one of them to develop pearls!
