I will start by saying that I love this coat and have it in several colors.  I am a small chested woman with narrow shoulders but long arms and this coat fit me so well that when I received one I started ordering it in other colors when the prices dipped.  I have been quite happy with these but the "pearl" color is not as pictured and is a bit of a misnomer.  It is light beige/gray.  There is nothing metallic, shiny or pearlescent about it.  If you are looking for very light neutral coat this may be for you, but it is a pretty dull / dishwater color that doesn't seem like it would be flattering to many. I also have the pewter - which is also not metallic bit is shiny and while it wasn't what I was expecting, I liked it.  The green is a deep cool forest green, the burgundy is lighter than what I think of as burgundy but is a dark cherry red.
