pearl finish
Subtle iridescent coating
Pearl finish is a surface texture or sheen with a soft, lustrous quality—not quite matte, not quite glossy, but somewhere between with a subtle shimmer reminiscent of pearl.
The term appears in contexts ranging from paint and nail polish to paper and photography: a pearl finish on the wedding invitations, pearl finish photo prints.
The effect catches light gently rather than reflecting it sharply.
