If a gemstone has a color description of '60', I know '6' refers to medium dark but what about the '0'?
I have looked up on the saturation scale, there is no '0' on it. It starts with a scale of 1-6!![]()
Can someone please explain? Thank you!

Ha, you got me there!. I was browsing Wildfishgems and have noticed that most color descriptions are given as 50, 60, 65, 70, 75 and even 80. I just took it for granted that this site is using the GIA grading color scale. For a '65', I read it as medium dark/strong saturation. But now, I am not sure anymore. Maybe you can clarify? Thanks!
