Blue diamonds are extremely rare. They generally have a slight hint of gray, so theyâre rarely as highly saturated as blue sapphires. Their color is caused by the presence of boron impuritiesâthe more boron, the deeper the blue. Fancy green diamonds are typically light in tone and low in saturation.
Diamonds are valued by how closely they approach colorlessness â the less color, the higher their value. (The exception to this is fancy color diamonds, such as pinks and blues, which lie outside this color range.) Most diamonds found in jewelry stores run from colorless to near-colorless, with slight hints of yellow or brown. GIAâs color-grading scale for diamonds is the industry standard. The scale begins with the letter D, representing colorless, and continues with increasing presence of color to the letter Z, or light yellow or brown. Each letter grade has a clearly defined range of color appearance.
