1. Strength of color: The color intensity of a natural colored diamond can be graded as Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, or Fancy Vivid, with Fancy Vivid constituting the highest grade. The stronger the intensity of a colored diamond, the higher the value will be. 2. Rarity of color: The rarity of a colored diamond will affect its price. The more common colors, such as gray, brown, and yellow, will generally have a lower cost than rarer colors, such as pink, blue, green, purple, and orange, which occur less frequently in nature. The rarest known and most expensive color of all is red. However, very high grades of color in a yellow diamond will make it more valuable than others. 3 . Size: Colored diamonds very rarely come in large sizes. This makes them exponentially more expensive. THREEOF THEMOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IMPACTING THE PRICE OF A NATURAL COLORED DIAMOND ARE STRENGTH OF COLOR, RARITY OF COLOR, AND SIZE.
