One of the first questions you may ask the moment you enter a jewelry store is about the best color of a diamond. Everyone has their own unique styles and tastes, though, so “the best” will be all about your personal tastes. So, today’s blog will be there to show you how to judge whether or not a specific diamond color is the “best” for you.
What is the best color for a diamond? There are many factors involved in “the best” color of a diamond for you including your taste, the setting, the shank, the shape, and the 3 Cs of the diamond. Your budget is the first factor that determines the listed criteria above. However, if the best for you means the rarest and most expensive, then a D colorless diamond is your answer.
Although choosing the color of your diamond engagement ring seems mostly a matter of taste and budget, several factors will affect the color of the diamond. If you are choosing a diamond for its sparkle, the information about how color and clarity affects the appearance of the diamond is necessary for choosing what color you think is best. Below, we have a few frequently asked questions about diamonds and answers so you can make a more informed decision.
What is the Color of a Diamond?
Diamond color is a reference to one of the 4 C’s of diamonds. In gemology, there are what is known as the 4 C’s of a diamond, Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat. American Gem Society (AGS) and Gemological Institute of America (GIA) appraise the color grade within the framework of a spectrum. The color of diamonds falls into two main categories: fancy colored diamonds and colorless diamonds, each possessing their own color spectrum for appraisal.
To evaluate color, GIA, AGS, and other diamond laboratories put the diamond upside down against a flat surface. By looking at the sides of a diamond, rather than its top view, the color is more noticeable. You may have even noticed that most diamond engagement rings in the market fall under the colorless category, the most accessible and common color set for diamonds to have falls into the colorless spectrum. Laboratories appraise the color based on a ranged color scale, starting from D – which is colorless, and ending in the letter Z, which is known as the light color scale. Each of the labels is associated with a particular amount of yellow tint in the diamond’s color.
Fancy colors include red, pink, gray, orange, violet, blue, yellow, white, black, green, and brown, just like different colors in a rainbow spectrum. Fancy colors are extremely rare in their natural form. Only one out of ten thousand diamonds have one of the natural fancy colors. If you intend to buy an engagement ring with a natural fancy color diamond, you must count on a high budget. You will probably encounter some inexpensive diamonds in the market with fancy colors. They are irradiated, and they do not possess the value of a naturally colored diamond coming from the earth.
Diamond Color Chart
GIA uses the diamond color chart below as its standard grading for appraisal:

S – Z

Almost Half the Price

As you can see, the GIA diamond color grade begins with the letter D and ends with the letter Z. The reason for this choice of grading is that GIA came up with a brand new grading system and wanted it to be set apart from the others, which have their scales start with the letter A, or use numbers. Since the GIA scale was such a unique innovation, it’s now accepted as the de facto color grading scale.
The grades in the diamond color chart starting from D is considered “Absolutely Colorless” and to the last alphabetic letter, which is Z, has an obvious yellow tint. Looking at the chart, you will notice that the design of the diamond follows how much it’s worth. When you get your diamond appraised at the GIA laboratory, the experts appraise it by comparing its color with an assembled set of diamonds, each one representing a specific color grade. If you wish to see the process in which GIA assesses the diamond color grade, please watch this video below:
What Color Grade is Best for Diamonds?
The truth is, there’s no specific answer to that question. It all depends on you and your preferences. If you have an unlimited budget, then the best two categories for you would be in the colorless group, D, E, and F, or the fancy intense colored diamonds, which are both incredibly rare. On a limited budget, however, you are better off choosing one of the lower grade color diamonds, but that doesn’t mean that you’re choosing a ‘lesser’ diamond. A good choice of ring and shape of diamond can always make any diamond look amazing.
There is a large price difference between two colors of different grades of diamonds and more importantly, a price difference in different categories. This is the reason that we cannot declare one color as “the best” for everyone. It is true that a diamond with a D color grade does reflect light better, and has some of the highest radiance, so there will be more demand for a higher color grade. The radiance of your gem is not only dependent on its color and clarity, but also by the metal band and the setting as well. The blog here will help you define diamond color and clarity grades, as well as prices for customers:
The colorless group, especially the D color, has an icier look, especially if you choose white gold or platinum for the metal band. Another key factor is the size of the diamond, which indicates the amount of yellow or brown color involved. The bigger a diamond, the more it shows that yellow or brown tint color in the diamond. The shape of the diamond is also important, for a round diamond hides the yellow color while an emerald or pear magnifies it. However, many people are into warm colors, and they choose K-M grades, which belong to the category of “faint”. Another especially important factor is the engagement ring you intend to buy, and whether it is a solitaire or something with more than one diamond. The importance lies in the fact that every person seeing your diamond engagement ring will notice the color difference, so you have to choose the same color for both the center diamond and the paves, or the diamonds that are along the shank. The matter of taste that determines “the best” for different people.
Which Color Diamond is the Most Valuable?
The D color diamond possesses the highest price value. The D color, which is the first diamond color grade we encounter in the Diamond Dolor Scale Chart, is absolutely colorless, so it is the most expensive color grade for a diamond. The E and F grades fall into the category of “colorless”, which is the most valuable group color in the scale of GIA diamonds.
If by “the most valuable” you mean the most luxurious, glamorous, and expensive, the first color group is what you are looking for. Among the first category, the first color grade, which is the D color, is the most expensive and valuable one. In the GIA color diamond scale, the more colorless a diamond looks, the more it is sought after. The slight yellow or brown color involved in near-colorless diamonds causes the natural color light to reflect less. The faint yellow or brown tint in the colorless diamond represents the involvement of nitrogen in the chemical mixture of the diamond that happened hundreds of miles under the crust of the Earth. Therefore, it is a vastly different color compared to a fancy yellow or brown diamond, which is even more expensive than a colorless diamond. Natural fancy colors, of which we can refer to pink, blue, yellow, green, orange, white, gray, brown, red, yellow, and violet, have separate scales for appraisal. Their price is high due to their rarity, for one in every ten thousand diamonds possess a natural fancy color. Therefore, when you speak about the most valuable color for a diamond, your word is interpreted as the most expensive color grade among the colorless diamonds.
Your wedding will be the most wonderful day of your life, but it’s also an opportunity to apply sustainable and eco-friendly practices just as you do in everyday life. There are so many great opportunities to add green credentials to your travel, food & decor decisions so that you avoid a hefty carbon footprint.
PLANNING A GREEN WEDDING
Regardless of how you decide to say I do, going green might be easier than you think. A few small steps of sustainability can make a big impact. We know there are many, many ways to be mindful of the planet as you go about your wedding planning. Creating a beautiful, sustainable wedding is very possible and you won’t have to sacrifice your vision or budget along the way.
YOUR EARTH-FRIENDLY WEDDING CAN BE BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL … AND SUSTAINABLE
ECO-FRIENDLY JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES
When choosing your engagement ring and wedding bands, take a moment to consider where the stones and metals originated. Look for brands that specialize in conflict-free gems and support fair labor practices. we love this guide to eco-friendly wedding jewelry—and who doesn’t love looking at beautiful baubles?
What’s better than eco-friendly jewelry designers? Vintage. We love how vintage jewelry carries a story that becomes part of your own. If possible, start with family: family treasures and heirlooms will forever hold a special place in your heart. If that doesn’t work, try shopping estate sales and other vintage shops for that one-of-a-kind piece to symbolize your union.
WEDDING VENUE SELECTION
Perhaps the easiest way to make your wedding more eco-friendly is to select your venue wisely. The first element to consider is location: how can you minimize travel to & from the wedding location? Group transport and eco-transport options work well, especially if the majority of your guests are local.
Once you’ve decided on the city or area, look for a ceremony and reception site that prioritizes sustainability through operational efficiency, sourcing local supplies and ingredients, or prioritizing energy efficiency. An all-inclusive venue is ideal, reducing your need for extra vendors, decor, and most of the single-use elements of your sustainable wedding—such as linens, silverware, serving plates, and so on.
We love a venue with a lot of natural beauty and character built in. It makes for an incredibly unique wedding and will significantly reduce the amount of decor that you need to procure, reducing waste and costs. Some of our favorites are charming bed and breakfasts, sprawling private estates, lighthouses or windmills, secluded gardens, or a retreat nestled in the forest.

SUSTAINABLE WEDDING ATTIRE & ACCESSORIES
For brides: If wearing your mother’s wedding dress is off the table, that doesn’t mean you can’t go vintage with your wedding attire. While there are dozens of small vintage bridal boutiques online and around the world. One of our favorite shopping options is Etsy for a vintage gown. Even buying a once-worn wedding gown is 100% earth-approved and a natural wedding dress can be both unique and stunning. Try searching your favorite Facebook group, asking friends, and shopping online at stores like StillWhite or Vintageous! Alternatively, browse Azazie or RentTheRunway which both have a wedding concierge service.
For the wedding party: Rather than asking that everyone wear matching attire, consider choosing a color theme and giving them the freedom to choose their own outfit (with your approval, of course). This way your bridal party won’t have to spend money on a single-occasion dress and gives them the freedom to choose what’s most flattering to their body. Plus, it’s rather chic and very on-trend.
Alternatively, you can focus on making sure that the attire you choose doesn’t go to waste. encourage your bridal party to give their bridesmaid dresses to a nonprofit that donates prom dresses to kids who can’t afford them.
INVITATIONS & STATIONERY
Going green on your invitations and stationery is such a fun, easy way to customize your earth-friendly wedding. At InvitationsByWedgewood.com, we’re able to source planet-friendly suppliers and reduce wastage. You can also investigate using recycled paper or alternative materials for your invitations. You may like to support a stationary company that invests in eco-friendly practices like Paper Culture.
GIFT REGISTRY
If you love material gifts and have been planning your registry for months, have no fear! A simple way to reduce waste is to register only for items that you’ll definitely use. Our friends at The Knot have a wonderful program that donates 3% of registry purchases to a charity of your choosing. Bonus points if you make sure that all gift wrap gets properly recycled or reused after your green wedding. It’s trendy for couples to say ‘save the gift wrap’ and receive naked gifts nowadays too. If you can live without tearing through all the wrapping paper, this could be your eco-friendly wedding choice.
If material gifts aren’t your thing, that’s okay too! We love alternative registry options such as contributing to your honeymoon fund, raising money for a charity, or asking that your guests plan a volunteer day on your behalf.
FLORAL AND FAUNA
Sometimes those beautiful, natural flowers that bring added color and beauty to your special day are less than earth-friendly. If you want fresh-cut blooms, work with your florist and consider seasonal flowers that are grown locally. This will reduce waste and support local farmers. Your florist can help you find the best options for your season and style.
If you want to shake things up, while still having the look of live florals, try potted plants such as palms, ferns, or orchids. Staged carefully, they can create a beautifully eclectic, bohemian style—and you can bring them home or gift them to guests after your celebration. This gorgeous locally-grown wedding used potted centerpieces and succulent buttonholes and looked fabulous. Some other fun alternatives include: sustainably sourced dried flowers, beautiful fake flowers, or fresh florals from your local farmers’ market.
When all is said and done, give careful consideration to how you dispose of your flowers. If you don’t bring them home, consider donating to a local charity or finding a farmer who will happily compost your wedding blooms. At Wedgewood Weddings, your team can do this for you and often give floral arrangements to local care homes on behalf of the couple celebrating. Try searching for local flower donation charities like Random Acts of Flowers which recycles flowers and delivers them to unwell individuals in healthcare facilities.

DECORATIONS AND ECO-FRIENDLY WEDDING FAVORS
No matter how beautiful your venue is, you’re going to need some decor to set the backdrop for your ceremony and reception. The most commonly used elements (besides fresh flowers) are signs, centerpieces, mirrors, picture frames, and candles. Each of our venues can provide votives, mirrors, and lanterns as standard and you can be sure they are reused and recycled in keeping with earth-friendly best practices.
Consider using items that you already have at home, sourcing from local friends/family, thrift stores, or renting items that you can return after use. When all is said and done, try to find a home for every piece of decor. You might donate the leftover decorations to a local organization or try selling them on Facebook marketplace to other brides.
Keep in mind that while DIY projects can be incredibly fun and creative, sometimes they are more wasteful (and costly) than alternative options. We like to keep the DIY projects fun and either edible, reusable, or plantable! We recommend these DIY seed bomb wedding favors, cute little succulents that double as decor, and mini packages of fair trade coffee.
FOOD & DRINK
Start by serving appetizers, drinks, and dinner (or brunch) with reusable or recyclable materials. The simplest way to do this is via a full catering kitchen that will have serving ware that is fully sanitized and reused at each event. We also offer a choice of stylish china and glassware at all our venues so that you can find something that works with your green wedding theme.
Did you know a vegan/vegetarian menu is a great way to encourage guests to go green? You can choose an earth-friendly menu and many guests might not notice that traditional meat dishes are missing. We offer many, many delicious vegan and vegetarian menu options for a tasty wedding feast!
To take another route, you can give a gorgeous custom drinking glass to all guests as a wedding favor that can be pre-placed at each guest setting for the toast.
Reduce food waste by choosing alternative serving styles. An expertly prepared buffet can be just as glamorous as a plated dish but will ensure that guests only select the food they plan to eat. After dinner, get creative with your dessert options. We love cake pops, s’mores, and mini pies! These work well in addition to a mini wedding cake so that you can partake in your favorite cake-smashing traditions!
HONEYMOON
Are you secretly most excited about the honeymoon? If so, that’s awesome, it means you’re excited about some quality alone time with your special someone. Long-haul travel often comes with a large carbon footprint, so we’ve brainstormed ideas on how to minimize your impact while celebrating your nuptials.
The easiest way to go green is to stay close to home! If you live in an area of the country where adventure and nature surround you, consider a local getaway. Some of our favorite ideas are an eco-friendly spa or retreat center, rubbing elbows with locals in a small coastal town, or taking off on a week-long backpacking trip. If you do want to jet set, carbon offsetting is a great option – you can do this easily with most airlines. Another idea is working with local organizations like Treepeople who will plant a tree or manage the local environment on your behalf.
If that’s not your style, you can still travel in an eco-friendly way. Consider only visiting countries that prioritize sustainability—Costa Rica is a wonderful example—and search for accommodations or resorts that are committed to sustainability. Now more than ever, sustainable travel is accessible and doesn’t have to cramp your style one bit.
