I'm looking at G/H color RB stones. I'd like to be closer to G color but not sure it's worth the price difference, especially because I'm only working with vendors who (I feel) provide the more reputable H&A cuts (i.e. Whiteflash, BGD). I do understand it's possible for a color grading to fall near the top or bottom end of the specific grade -- for example, an H may be a "high H/low G" or a "low H/high I." I also realize I'll probably never in the real world be able to tell the difference of any sort of "half-grade" shift...
However, I've been looking at Whiteflash ACA's in particular, and I found 3 H color VS1 stones. In the pictures online, one of these stones certainly appears more G-like than the other two. My question is: Is it actually possible to discern a difference in color within a grade from online images? Here are the three diamonds... not to ruin the punchline, but the first one is the one I feel is closer to G color.
