A diamond \"color chart\" looks simple: a row of letters from D to Z. But that letter grade only tells part of the story.

It runs from D (completely colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown), and it applies to white diamonds only \u2014 colored, or \"fancy,\" diamonds are graded on a completely separate scale.<\/p><p>Before the GIA introduced the D-to-Z system, jewelers used a mix of letters, numbers, and even Roman numerals to describe diamond color, and none of it was standardized. GIA deliberately started at D rather than A so that its new scale could never be confused with the inconsistent systems that came before it.<\/p><p>Diamond \"color,\" somewhat counterintuitively, actually refers to the absence of color. Nearly all natural white diamonds carry a faint tint of yellow or brown caused by trace amounts of nitrogen trapped in the crystal during formation. The less of that tint is visible, the higher \u2014 and rarer \u2014 the grade.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-20056ec e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"20056ec\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-198d0ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"198d0ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Full GIA Color Scale, Grade by Grade<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d60efc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"d60efc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Gemologists determine a diamond's grade by comparing it, unmounted and face-down, against a \"master stone set\" \u2014 a reference set of diamonds with pre-verified color \u2014 under controlled lighting.
