At the last tender, Leibish & Co. won six diamonds. One of those was a radiant cut 1.71-carat vivid pink diamond. A skilled diamond cutter removed 0.03 cts. (less than 1 percent) and the color changed to a fancy vivid purplish pink and the value dramatically increased. “We just touched it," said Leibish Polnauer, the Israeli-based company’s founder and CEO. “But you have to touch it the right way.”

My question is - how did the cutter do this? I don't know much about fancy diamonds but I thought color didn't depend on the cut. Am I wrong?
