I mean, the whole city seen the Red Eye, the Pizzas fought against Watermelon Tourmaline and seen the Gems magically change outfits, and there has probably been more than just the creatures we've seen attacking Beach City in the past 10 years or so (Or possibly even more than 10 years).

The Crystal Gems, an alien species now living on earth, would be globally newsworthy and I could guarantee that at least one of the business owners would leak the news to attract tourists to Beach City. Connie's parents should definitely know by now, especially since Connie has been put in mortal danger several time and had her eyesight restored. (She popped the red-tinted frames out her glasses, someone would notice)

All that aside; I'm looking forwards to seeing the Crystal Gems fuse together. It would be easier to instruct Pearl (I chose Pearl because she has the most humanoid skin tone) to shapeshift into a more humanoid form. (Pearl could even shapeshift into Rose Quartz specifically or look for an image in a magazine to base her shape off of an actual human.)

People have noticed, like the mayor in Ocean Gem, "Hey, it's those three magical ladies!" and someone in the background when Pearl hologrammed Lapis Lazuli "Woah, I didn't know she could do that!".

For your theory, I don't think Pearl can change colour when she shapeshifts, but, it could be possible. I wonder when Steven learns how to get better control of his powers, if he could change the colour of his skin because he doesn't have any particular colour scheme. There's evidence in Cat Fingers because his cats were different colours, unlike when Amythest shapeshifted, the fur of hercat was white, like her hair.
