Question

What is the colour of a pure diamond?

Options

• Light green

• Light yellow

• Light blue

• Light pink

Answer 1

Light yellow

Explanation:

Diamonds are carbon essentially, but most diamonds will have trace impurities that create colour. For example, nitrogen impurities cause yellow colour.  Nitrogen is the most common impurity in diamond, so the majority of diamonds you'll see in the marketplace will have varying degrees of a yellow tint.
