"Eyes black. A Pearl mouse shall be of the palest silver, shading to a whitish undercolour. Each hair shall be delicately tipped with grey or black. The Tan belly shall be a rich golden orange hue, as rich as possible and there should be a clear line of demarcation between top colour and tan running in a straight line along flanks, chest and jaws. There should be no brindling or guard hairs. Colour of feet should be inside tan, the remainder of foot the same as top colour. Wholly tan feet considered a greater fault than feet all same colour as top."

Quick Look

Pearl Tans are much more difficult to breed into perfection than Silver Grey Tans. One can try going through the route of selectively breeding ever lighter undercolour Silver Grey Tans towards Pearl.

It is possible that Pearls and Pearl Tans out there are pe/pe (pearl), instead of silvered (si/si).
