Colour is a result of the composition of the diamond, usually referring to the presence or absence of shade in it and it never changes over time.
Because a colourless diamond allows more light to pass through it, these emit more sparkle. The formation process of a diamond ensures that only a few, rare diamonds are truly colourless. Colour manifests itself in a diamond as a pale yellow. The less colour a diamond has, the higher its colour grade and thus, its value.
What Colour Is Right For Me?
To grade whiteness or colourlessness, most jewellers refer to GIA's professional colour scale that begins with the highest rating of D for colourless, and travels down the alphabet to grade stones with traces of very faint light yellowish or brownish colour. The colour sclae continues all the way to Z
Diamonds graded D to F are naturally the most valuable and desirable because of their rarity. Such diamonds are a treat to the eyes. But you can still obtain very attractive diamonds that are graded slightly less than colourless.

- For the purist, look for a colourless diamond with a grade of D-F for a diamond with no discernible colour.
- For an excellent value in a diamond with little or no noticeable colour to the unaided eye, look for a near-colourless grade of G-I
It is important to keep in mind that, while most people strive to buy the most colourless diamond they can afford, there are many who actually prefer the warmer glow of lower-colour diamonds.
What is Flourescence?
Flourescence is an effect that is seen in some diamonds when they are exposed to long-wave ultraviolet light such as the lighting frequently seen in dance clubs. Under most lighting conditions, however, this fluorescence is not detectable to the eye. While most gemologists prefer diamonds without this effect, some people enjoy it. It's really just a matter of aesthetics.
