Diamonds are found with a range of colors, from faint yellow or brown to the very rare pinks, blues, greens, and other colors known as "fancies." However, the best color for a diamond is no color. A totally colorless diamond allows white light to pass effortlessly through it and be dispersed as rainbows of color. Give such a diamond to someone you love, and let your true colors shine through as well.
The best body color for diamonds to have is really no color at all. A colorless diamond allows white light to pass through effortlessly. This disperses the light like a spectrum in micro-rainbows of color. |

Diamonds are graded using a color scale that ranges from totally colorless (D) to light yellow (Z). The differences between the grades are extremely subtle. Sometimes, diamonds are naturally saturated with a lot of color such as pink, bright blue, or canary yellow. These highly prized diamonds, called fancy colored diamonds, are extremely rare and usually command a premium price. Fancy colored diamonds are not graded on the scale. |
