Colour

Most diamonds can appear white to the natural eye but many display hints of colour especially on closer inspection. A diamond’s value increases with the absence of colour, so the closer it is to colourless the rarer and more valuable it will be.However, diamonds outside the normal colour range – fancy coloured diamonds as they are known, are the rarest and command even higher prices according to colour and availability, for example, blues, and pin

Colour Grade

The grading scale for white or colourless diamonds starts at D which is colourless, working through the alphabet to Z which has the greatest saturation of below or brown colour. Technically, diamonds graded G have visible colour, however this is usually noticed from H colour diamonds onwards. A master set of diamonds in the different colour grades is used by diamond graders to compare stones and accurately assess the colour.

Spectrum of Colours

Diamond colour actually refers to a lack of colour, this is because a diamond can divide light into a spectrum of colours but colour in the diamond acts like a filter thereby reducing the spectrum of colours emitted. The less colour, the better the colour grade will be.
