Any positive diamond colour other than white, brown, or grey with a significant level of saturation. Natural fancy colour in diamonds is rare and valuable; the colour is caused by either impurities or structural abnormalities. Three factors to consider when grading a coloured diamond are body colour, tone, and saturation. Examples of fancy colours, or ‘fancies’: yellow diamonds, orange diamonds, pink diamonds, red diamonds, blue diamonds, purple diamonds, and green diamonds. Examples of non-fancy colours are grey and brown.
