Color classification
Diamonds are divided by color into white (colorless), black, and fancy (colored).
White. In most cases, the color of diamonds is yellowish due to impurities. For a more accurate assessment, a diamond color determination scale has been developed: international according to GIA or Russian according to GOST R 52913-2008.
Black. Their peculiarity is a large number of graphite inclusions, which make it difficult to cut and evaluate the stone.
Fantasy. There are 9 basic colors used: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, red, brown, blue, gray. In the color designation, the dominant color comes first, there are shades (indicated as a secondary color, in the second position). The second characteristic is saturation (intensity). Defined on a scale of 1 to 9 (minor to vivid fantasy).

Blue. The rarest expensive stone with greenish, purple, gray shades. The color of the diamond is created by the impurities of aluminum. Most salons offer radiation-treated blue artificial stone.
