Diamonds are available in many colors. They are classified as white, practically colorless diamonds, or fancy colors. Diamond color distinctions are so subtle that only a trained gemologist can color grade the gem. A diamond's price value can rise or fall based on the intensity and hue of the color.
The Diamond color grading scale ranges from D to Z.
D, E, F: color-graded diamonds are colorless diamonds but not always of the best value.
G, H, I: color-graded diamonds are also clear and have the perfect balance of quality and value.
J, K, L: diamonds have a slightly warm tint and are sometimes considered diamonds of value depending on other factors.
M to Z: diamonds have a noticeably yellow, brown or blue tint.
