What diamond produces what color/s in gems?
I made this chart to maybe help it make sense!
Essentially, (in my mind) Each Diamonds essence is their own Color (beside pink cause she also has red) and Gems of that color are made using that particular essence. However to get colors such as orange, Indigo, green, etc, The specific essences must be mixed together to get that color. Adding white diamond essence makes the colors lighter. Adding yellow, blue and pink essences can desaturate colors. Adding all the diamonds makes rainbow gems.
Every mixture can make a spectrum of different colors depending on how much of one essence is used. For example Using 75% yellow diamond and 25% blue you’ll get yellow-green, while 50/50 gives you a pure Green.
Just because they are made with specific diamonds essences doesn’t mean they can’t serve in other courts.
We can see that Nephrite (A green gem) is under pink diamonds court!
*It’s also been stated that white diamond has a heavy influence on Pearl production.*
As for the Metals, they are mostly made from white diamond essences with some having tiny amounts of other diamonds essences as well.
(Beside Certain non grey-ish metals)
*These are the essences I’ve been talking about Incase there is confusion*
Hope this was helpful!
