I was thinking of nacre - you can get that in 'white' (well, the standard neutral pearl colour), that amazing greenish-rainbow mother of pearl mosaic, and if you look around, there are oddball pearl colours that naturally occur, a few delicate pinks and this really warm gold. Apparently those aren't outliers, at least as far as golden pearls go - there are certain locations where pearl-producing bivalves will make golden nacre. Or maybe it's certain subspecies that only occur in those locations, I'm not sure.
But since nacre is something molluscs produce to protect themselves from parasites and grit and things (kind of like humans do with mucus, I suppose), is it impossible that a whole population would get the mollusc equivalent of a cold or a sneeze attack, and massively over-produce nacre? I'm thinking this is plausible enough to cover the rocks the molluscs live on.
But yeah - sorry for worldbuilding at you! :D I'll let you get on with your day!
