Terry is right, because he used the word "usually". Some pearls are spectacular and can sell for much more than the whites. But generally the blues and yellows are worth less (not worthless, worth less). In order for them to be considered valuable they must have a consistent color, bright luster, and be round. The baroque and off round strands are indeed considered the "junk" strands at the factories.
