Pearl is A* cbcb E* gg P* - the star's mean the gene could be either recessive or
dominant.

Pearl A* cbcb E* gg P*
Ivory Cream (at least if this is what you mean by cream) A* CC E* gg pp
Would create either an undefined colour or a Grey Agouti with the following potential
genes for a grey agouti:
0.0313 AA Cc[b] EE gg Pp
0.0625 AA Cc[b] E- gg Pp
0.0625 A- Cc[b] EE gg Pp
0.1250 A- Cc[b] E- gg Pp
====== == ======== ======== == ==
--> 0.2813 A- Cc[b] E- gg Pp Grey Agouti
