What is Pearl's signature color in "Splatoon 2"?

The story behind the answer

Pearl’s signature color in Splatoon 2 is pink. The color is a central part of her visual identity as one half of Off the Hook, the pop duo she forms with Marina.

Pearl is a short Inkling with pale, cream-colored hair accented by pink, and her clothing commonly uses pink alongside white, gold, and black. Marina’s design uses contrasting teal and green tones, making the pair visually distinct when they appear together in Inkopolis News or during Splatfests. The pink association is especially noticeable in Pearl’s tights, clothing details, tentacle tips, and promotional artwork.

Pearl and Marina debuted in Splatoon 2, released for Nintendo Switch in 2017. They replaced Callie and Marie as the game’s news presenters and hosted the game’s competitive Splatfests. Pearl’s color can appear different during special events because Splatfest artwork and team effects may alter character accents, but pink remains her standard signature color.

Players sometimes confuse Pearl’s signature color with the pink ink used in particular battles or promotional palettes. Those gameplay colors can change by stage or mode; Pearl’s character color is a design association, not a permanent rule for every ink match.
