What are the 4Cs colour grades?
March 31, 2024The 4Cs of diamonds refer to Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Carat weight, which are used to assess the quality of a diamond.
Specifically for Colour, which seems to be your focus, diamonds are graded based on the absence of colour. A perfectly colourless diamond is the highest grade, and the presence of colour signifies a lower grade. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond colour on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light colour).
Here is a brief overview of the colour grades:
D, E, F
Colourless. D being the highest grade, these diamonds are virtually colourless to the unaided eye.
K, L, M
Faint. A slight tint of colour is visible, often a pale yellow, which can be more noticeable in larger diamonds.
S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
Light. A light colour is visible. These diamonds have a more pronounced colour.
