What color Akoyas? Treated?

I haven't gotten to a stage where I would need to wash my pearl strands but taking note of all the tips here! @A Breaker, I regularly wash my gemstone rings, and use a gentle toothbrush to clean both in front and behind the setting. I do this whenever I notice that they're not as sparkly as they should be, because sometimes soap residue builds up because I wear them when I wash my hands.
