Re: H Color Diamond- VERY warm in photos...

What color is your camera? Your hair? The room you are in? Your shirt? Did you check the white balance in your pics/camera?

My camera is not so much a camera as much as it is the Iphone , my hair is dark brown, and the diamond was facing the window...I cannot for the life of me remember what color shirt I was wearing when I took this (I don't think I own any yellow shirts, so I am not sure this could be the reason)...

I should also note, I took a photo of the ring in the supermarket and the same warmth came through!

My guess is that it is reflecting something.,.

Is this just an academic question? Likely it has to do with the tone of the light (like a warmer light source) and the white balance in your camera. I trust you are not actually concerned about the appearance in the photo?

no, not really concerned about it- just curious if this is "normal" for a stone that is an H? Maybe it just looks warmer because the halo stones are G? Thanks for your help btw

If you only see it is photos it is an atrifact of the photography and has nothing at all to do with normal or not normal or halo or anything else! If you camera is set a certain way and the lighting a certain way, the stone can look green or blue too.
