Why do these G diamonds look so different??

Can someone help me understand why these two diamonds look so drastically different in color? Are they taken in different light conditions? Or is the G range really that disparate?

I recently purchased a G color lab stone and when comparing to others available at the time they looked more similar to SKU 847 (more yellow). I haven’t received the ring yet but was looking at inventory and have found some G stones that look whiter like SKU 927. Now I am concerned about my order and questioning the grading report.

Here is the stone I purchased. Thoughts?

I have so much anxiety about this but I suppose I can return/exchange if I am unhappy with the finished product - just don’t want the hassle. Thanks!!!

Can you confirm which one you purchased, and post the certificates? I think the 2nd stone looks darker partially because it's not as well cut.

The first one has blue nuance. Some people may like this look, but it will result in the diamond looking slightly blue.
