I beg to disagree. 'Too yellow' is relative. I have seen some really amazing J's set into platinum on the Show me the Ring forum that don't look yellow at all, and the owner corroborated that only a slight tint of warmness was what gave the stone a bit of color. Too yellow for one person may be another person's great deal if their eye does not pick up color. I have seen an old euro cut in platinum that was I color....and I color old stones show some body warmth, and it looked great to me, didn't even see yellow in it--because the stone was just beautiful to look at. So I think it's all relative. I think J would be great to entirely maximize your budget--but if you are unsure as to how your eye perceives color--stick with an I color. Or go into a local store and SEE some I and J colors with your own eyes. Why listen to us? Check for yourself.
Good luck!
