"[F]usions involving Pearl are in some way multi-colored, thus named after multi-colored gemstones... [t]his is likely due to Pearl being implied to have been created with 'gemetic material' from White, Yellow, Blue, and potentially Pink Diamond together."

OK, new headcannon... Pearl was designed to be a backup for one of the four Diamonds, should the need arise. The need arose when Pink's original Pearl was taken and her eye damaged.
