I'm a photographer who has spent years working to take diamond pics that show the true honest color of the diamond - which is NO easy task!!!
Lighting, the color/tone of the background behind the diamond, and post-processing are key.
The all can come together to result in an honest pic, or otherwise.
All these pics are not true color if that background was white.
If it was white but the results came out brownish, then the photographer failed to understand their lighting, background, and camera settings.
Look at the far right white bar of each pic.
Notice that all 3 are really neutral white?
Now, notice the background behind the diamond on all 3 pics.
Notice that all are light brownish?
Therein lies the problem.
I seriously doubt that background was really light brown in real life.
I'll bet it was pure white.
Photography, that is color-accurate, is not impossible but it's a challenge.
The usual culprit is the photographer did not to a proper manual white balance for the actual light source used.
Suggestion to the photographer: Read your camera's manual for manual white balance.
Thank you @kenny! I honestly can't tell anything from these pics
You can tell this.
Look at the color of the background of all 4 pics above.
All 4 look pretty brownish.
Next, to the right of the brownish is a blue that comes from Pricescope software.
To the right of the blue is white.
That brown is the result of the camera's white balance setting not being matched to the light source used.
Even the best cameras do NOT always/automatically tell the truth.
I have about $15,000 of late-model high-end Nikon camera and lenses.
Without knowledge and skill my pics could come out no better color-truth than those.
Those pics reveal more about the incompetence of the photographer, than the true color of the diamond.
If you want to know the color of a diamond, see the color grade on a GIA or AGS grading report.
Pictures are almost always not accurate, even if accurate the screen/device you are viewing them on is probably not accurate.
@sledge I did mention my concerns that the stone looked dark to me. I was guarranteed that this stone would "face up white".
It is just poor photography. Not enough bright diffused light in the room. What color is the wall and ceiling?
... . In addition, the camera is too close.
Topic of this thread.Obstruction doesn't make a pic look brownish, the topic of this thread.
a 0.50ct G is very colorless. A 10ct G is pale yellow. Size matters.
GIA G can show some brown but for the color blind a GIA G shoud be an F as they are stricter on brown colors.
The cover or color of the phone has a huge impact too
Thanks @Garry H (Cut Nut) ! Other than the color, can you tell anything about this stone from these pictures?
pavilion angle around 40.6 crown slightly steep - maybe 35.5 table maybe 56%.
But what you are trying to do is not much value unless we are familiar with the photo set up. e.g. if a D and a J were photographed side by side if color is the issue etc
