I think that "Open Book" was foreshadowing to White Pearl.

Theory: Pink Diamond had accidentally broken her original Pearl's (currently White Pearl's) mind by telling her not to do what she wants, just like Steven had broken Cloud Connie's mind in "Open Book" by telling her not to do what he wants. Their minds became broken because both Cloud Connie and Pink Diamond's original Pearl were made to follow orders. White Diamond gave her original Pearl (Crystal Gem Pearl) to Pink Diamond and forced Pink Diamond's original Pearl to function properly by mind-controlling her. This caused Pink Diamond's original Pearl, now White Pearl, to share the same color palette as White Diamond (much like Pink Diamond-resurrected beings share the same color pallette as Pink Diamond). Even the color palette change was foreshadowed in "Open Book"; Cloud Connie wears a pink cape in earlier scenes of the episode, and in later scenes she wears a white dress with white, fuzzy hair covers on the sides of her head, which look similar to White Pearl's hair buns. White Pearl and Cloud Connie are both drawn without a left eye (White Pearl has an atypical scarring over her left eye, and Cloud Connie wears an eye patch over her left eye). This theory would also explain White Pearl and Crystal Gem Pearl's Gem placements.
