Hi @bcmacdonald , I looked for your comment referenced above, but could not find it. I am happy to see that you have revised a language to note that color does not equal beauty. If you go through the threads on colors and threads where stones of specific colors have gathered, you will discover that many PSers have diamonds all along the color spectrum, plenty of whom prefer the warmer colors. Any color can be beautiful. Thank you for amending your statement.
