| I am not an expert on Bionicles, but I understand that the feet, head, and carapace
on all six of the original Rahkshi were pearl versions of the prime Mata/Nuva
colors.
The only example I have to hand is a Rahkshi head bought as "Chrome Green", others
are on sale as "Metallic Green". It clearly does not match either the Chrome
Green "Rock 1 x 1 Crystal 5 Point", or any of the Technic Metallic Green parts.
Yet it definitely has a metallic sheen compared to normal Green. I believe that
by analogy with the Pearl White already in the catalog there should be a Pearl
Green available for Bionicle Foot Rahkshi; Bionicle Head, Rahkshi; and Bionicle
Rahkshi Back Cover with Groove.
There may well be a case for other Pearl colors for these parts, but I am not
in possession of the items necessary to do such a diagnosis.

You are correct! In the case of Bionicle, this also applies to about four other
colors that Bricklink doesn’t recognize. You’ll notice that other ‘Rahkshi’ parts
have notes from sellers about the ‘pearly’ appearance some of their parts have.

Yes, the 6 Rahkshi pearl colors are:
149 Metallic Black (also used for watch links and Makuta masks)
183 Metallic White (the only one currently recognized by BL)
184 Metallic Bright Red
185 Metallic Bright Blue (also used for Bob the Builder's Scrambler)
185 Metallic Dark Green
187 Metallic Earth Orange
This gets especially confusing, because the Rahkshi heads appear in BOTH pearl
and non-pearl versions, thanks to Rahaga sets. (White is the same way, but at
least BL separates that one).

Thanks for info.
How do we request color additions? - The Inventory Change Request doesn't
seem to have any mechanism for it?

The only Rahkshi heads that overlap with the Rahaga are black and white, although
the black is difficult to tell apart... Same with Makuta's mask (compared
to the one released in 2008). I believe 43363 is also Metallic Black, as the
instructions gives it a metallic sheen.

I second this.
I just tried ordering some missing parts from my Rebrickable inventory. The missing
Pearl Red resulted in color = not applicable. I didn’t notice it until I received
BLUE parts.
Now I know why. It would be really helpful if these Bionicle colors were added.
