The color of the pearls is very close or identical to the color of the product image. It is a nice, bright uniform teal color that I really like. On the down side, the brightness does make it hard to match with clothes, but it would go beautifully with white or black. The necklace is a good length and comfortable, my only complaint being the fastener. It is cheap and rather delicate looking. I much prefer the fastener for this near identical set:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Teal-Freshwater-Cultured-Button-Pearl-Necklace-and-Stud-Earring-Set-with-Stainless-Steel-Clasp-6-7mm-18-2-Extender/dp/B005MS99XY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Teal Freshwater Cultured Button Pearl Necklace and Stud Earring Set with Stainless Steel Clasp (6-7mm), 18+2" Extender</a>. I got the lavender version of that set and have really loved it (though after months of abusive wear, the string finally snapped). If you don't care about getting a bracelet, then that set is the way to go (it is also a much better deal price wise).

All in all, a nice little set.
