Color Grade F Diamond (Colorless)

Diamonds composed of pure carbon are colorless. An "F" Color Grade diamond contains minute traces of Color which can only be detected by a trained gemologist. F Color diamonds maintain a high level of brilliance and are thus considered a high-quality color grade. The "F" Color diamond is the third highest Color grade a diamond can achieve. Many systems have been used to grade diamond Color. To eliminate confusion, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) introduced a Color grading system in the 1950s that is used today by the entire diamond industry. The scale begins at D (colorless) and ends at Z (light yellow). The scale starts at D because that letter had not been used previously to classify Color.

Diamond Color is difficult to discern when a diamond is viewed face-up. Therefore, the grader turns the diamond facedown against a pure white surface under carefully controlled light. The diamond grader compares the diamond to a so-called master stone to determine Color. A master stone is a diamond of a predetermined Color that is used for comparison.

Listed below is a standard Color grade chart demonstrating the Color range from D to M.
