Diamond color is one of the important characteristics that affect the beauty of diamonds
As with all 4C parameters, diamond color is an important consideration when buying diamonds. Although color affects price, there are a series of factors that can help you decide which color grade is right for you.
The GIA white diamond grading scale is the industry standard
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) color scale is the industry standard for diamond grading. GIA diamond color grades range from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Many people wonder why the GIA diamond grading scale starts from D grade. The Arcane system uses A-C, 1-3, and I-III, etc. GIA is to standardize these multiple systems and set the scale to start at level D.
Colorless diamonds: rare and high-quality diamonds with a pure ice color.
D-F color diamond
Nearly colorless diamonds: no color can be seen with the naked eye; high quality.
G-H color diamond
I-J color diamond
Light-colored diamonds: a moderate budget choice; it goes well with gold.
