The Color of Diamonds

Good Thursday Afternoon Fellow Jewelry Lovers!


Diamonds are priced and categorized according to one of the 4C’s, which is color.  Diamonds occur in a variety of colors — steel gray, white, blue, yellow, orange, red, green, pink to purple, brown, and black, virtually in every color of the rainbow.
 Black & White Diamonds          Chocolate & White Diamonds       Blue & White Diamonds

Diamond colors more saturated than this scale are known as "fancy color" diamonds. Any light shade of diamond other than Light Yellow or Light Brown automatically falls out of the scale. For instance, a pale blue diamond won't get a "K", "N", or "S" color grade, it will get a Faint Blue, very Light Blue or Light Blue grade. 


                   Black & White Diamonds                                   Chocolate & White Diamonds

Laboratories use a list of 27 color hues that span the full spectrum for colored gems and diamonds.
