Pearl (20005) fills the warm luminous off-white position in the Glide neutral family, sitting between pure white and cream: warmer and softer than standard White (10000), cooler and more luminous than Cream (20001), with a distinctive glow that makes it uniquely suited for backing fabrics with that specific warm, pearl-like quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTop 10 Questions About 20005 Pearl Glide Thread\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does Pearl differ from White (10000) and Cream (20001)?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePearl (20005) sits between the two: warmer and softer than the neutral White, but cooler and more luminous than the distinctly warm Cream.
