Direct sunlight should never be used for any test other than to see how a diamond looks in direct sunlight.Hi!
Even though none of the diamonds below are colorless. I thought it would be interesting to show how they appear in sunlight...
J color Medium Blue Fluorescence (almost 3 carats vs2)

Please do share your observations...
To me, only 1 diamond appears hazy.
Thank you!
To do this test you could shade the direct sun with your body.
And as Bryan said - we would need to also know if the inclusions were contributing because GIA for example obscurates by including haziness as a clarity feature.
(Whic is why I tell people all the time buy an honest SI stone - if you think your smart and got an eye clean 2 ct plus SI2 then you bought a dull stone)
