This is definitely a thin-film effect, even more complex than what I was doing earlier. In this one the color doesn't just get darker, it shifts in hue.

Trust me, I like this, but it has a slight yellowish tint to it that I know black pearls don't have ;). Is it the lights? I had a black pearl ring that reflected a pinkish and mostly bluish color. In incandescent light it looked pretty gray ;). More like the image. But now that I look I guess they can look yellowish?

They come in many colors.
