does metal used enhance or offset a diamonds color??

[Zombie123]

Hi all!

I am in process of selecting a princess cut diamond for my wife... we are unsure of which color to go.
my wife is of the opinion that colors interact with each other and help either enhance or offset a colors presence.

we wanted to know if and how this applies to jewellery settings...
will going in for gold enhance/complement the yellowness of an I color or will it appear whiter in a silver/platinum setting.

my wife is not stuck up on the metal but wants to use a combination that will add more value to a diamond..

I would love to hear any theories anyone has to this effect.
Thanks!!!!!

My original setting was yellow gold but rodium was placed under the stone so that it would show the whitness of the stone and not show yellow Not sure if that answers your question
