| A friend of mine's 8796 King Matthias set came with parts 50602, 50616, and
50629 in Pearl Gold. However, I'm not sure if 50623, 53346, and 53347 also
came in Pearl Gold, or if set 8791 did too. In any case, there seems to be a
similar case to the Pearl Gold Kraahkan or Visorak carapaces in the BIONICLE
playsets. Though the lighting in the images is not ideal, these are indeed PG;
they can be seen compared to other PG parts here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bioniclelego/comments/foe1me/zayna_toa_of_psionics/
The reason I bring this up is of course to see them added as alternates, but
first, this definitely needs more research, because as I said, I don't know
if the other three gold parts in the set were PG too... :/ Potentially if we
could find PCC, that would help?

Funnily enough, King Jayko has the crown in pearl gold:
but I got that set when it was released and mine has a reddish gold crown (compared
it to 8796).

Please know that "Reddish Gold" was only added as a color to BrinkLink
early last year and there may be many set inventories that are still incorrect.
Where the color Reddish Gold has been added to set inventories, we have proof
that the color was used in those sets. However, this does not mean that Pearl
Gold was not used as an alternate in some of those sets as Reddish Gold was phased
out and replaced by Pearl Gold. We just don't have solid proof for that.
And there are Pearl Gold PCCs for a number of the parts that were originally
made in Reddish Gold. 
Cheers,
Randy

Of course! Which is why I wanted to bring this instance to light, so that it
may have a chance of being looked into, or to see if anyone else has encountered
this with their copy.

If this is the case, be sure to double check. Both colors are very inconsistent
and can look like one another in some instances.
