At the heart of the jewel, color, just like the purity of the diamond, is an essential element that is part of the 4C of the diamond. Indeed, this criterion is certainly the second most important of the 4C because it has a direct influence on the appearance of the stone and its clarity in natural light. The color of the stone is one of the characteristics used to determine the price of a diamond, based on its classification. This differs between white or colorless diamonds and colored diamonds. Indeed, where white diamonds are estimated according to a scale of shades ranging from bright white to pale yellow, colored diamonds, which are much rarer than colorless ones (5% of diamonds) are classified according to their intensity. Before being cut, diamonds have a slight yellow tint. There is a diamond color scale, namely that the closer a diamond is to colorless (D), the rarer it is. The letter referring to the color of the diamond ranges from the letter D (colorless) to the letter Z (tinted or light yellow). Colored diamonds, also called bright colored diamonds, are rarer than white diamonds and result from the presence of gas at the time of crystallization of the gem. For example, the black diamond is a rare but elegant jewel. The color varies according to the type of gas to which the carbon atoms were exposed: for example, the presence of nitrogen will give a yellow diamond while the presence of boron will bring out the blue color. Colored diamonds have their own classification according to their chromatic intensity. Therefore, the "Fancy Color" of a diamond, namely its color, is estimated according to its intensity: the more intense the color, the higher the value of the diamond. The designation "Fancy" begins after the "Z", a hint of color being accepted for the scale of White diamonds: Fancy light (very little intense).
