In this video, we perform a side by side comparison of a D color vs an I color diamond ring. On the GIA color grading scale, they are labelled as colorless and near colorless respectively.
While these two rings are more than 5 color grades apart, the yellow color differences between them are not readily seen with the eyes in the face up view.
To this end, I've performed the comparisons of a D vs I diamond in 3 different lighting scenarios that you will find yourself in most of the time.
The point is, can you see the differences between colorless and near colorless diamonds in real life conditions or the differences merely an issue of psychology?
I want you to watch the video in full to see how it looks like and whether you think one is better over the other. Leave a comment below to let me know if you can see a tint in the I diamond or whether both look identical to you.
