Color grades ranging from the absence of color (D means the diamond is colorless, and as color increases, the scale moves towards Z, meaning the color is dominant) and the strength\/intensity of the color or the \u201cfancy color scale\u201d (Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy, Fancy Intense, Fancy Dark, Fancy Deep, and Fancy Vivid). Colored stones aren\u2019t as straightforward. Because colored gems can be so different, we use the same \u201cfancy color scale\u201d but break down the range into three separate components:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hue<\/strong> is best described as the apparent color of a gem upon first impression. Easily noted as the basic color that the gem resembles\u2014for example: red, yellow, blue, pink, purple, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00a0<em>(It is not always that simple, however, many gems have intense secondary colors that show through.). In these cases, the secondary color can be noted as a secondary modifying color, in which case you would use a description like, bluish red.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tone<\/strong> is described as the quality of the color. This is judged based on the amount of light and dark properties in the stone. Tone can range from white to black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturation<\/strong> is described as the strength and intensity of the hue. Gemstones with low saturation and washed-out properties are noted as brownish\/ grayish. Gemstones with strong saturation are graded as deep or vivid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azeera.com\/about_azeera_gemstone?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_content=cssansp2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AZEERA buys and crafts gems that have: beautiful hues, notable tones, and vivid saturation<\/a>.
