Gemstratan,

South Sea Pearls from Indonesia or the Phillipines do have natural yellow/golden colours.

Commercially a combination of green and yellow is called Champagne. South Seas are Salt water pearls but You can find champagne colours too in Freshwater. Mostly they are dyed but FWP:s in natural creme/yellow colours do occur very commonly.

Very often they are bleached to be white as the creamy pearls do not fetch the same prices as white ones do.
