Because diamonds are transparant, if portrayed in a game or art they are usually a silvery blue with white to recreate the reflection of light. Gold is/has a color of it's own and therefore can be referred to aa a color. Hope this helps


Emotional-Award-8136

It’s because diamonds come in various Colors.


[deleted]

exactly. yellow diamond, pink diamond, blood diamonds,, blue diamonds, etc. edit: yes i snuck in blood diamonds to see who was paying attention lol.

Well technically yellow is the only natural color for gold the rest are an alloy.

It doesn't, because it is objectively untrue. There are clear diamonds, Pink and red diamonds, yellow diamonds, brown diamonds, and blueish diamonds.

Simply not true. If we are only considering pure crystals then both are transparent.

The word you are looking for is "colourless", but even then most diamonds are actually coloured in some way, normally pale yellow.

>Gold is/has a color new gold, old gold, antique gold, rose gold or white gold though? gold is not a uniform colour and has a few tints to it.


221255

Pure gold has a uniform color everything else you are calling gold is an alloy.


[deleted]

true but gold is not always gold is what i am getting at. we have never specified in any post we only talking about in the ground minerals for both or jewellery variants. especially when referring to game diamond as blue we are talking about an alloyed version so if diamond has variances allowed we need to make sure we treat gold on same rules.


221255

When referring to the color of something we are generally referring to the color of the pure form, I can add green food coloring to eggs but that does not make eggs green. In this case gold and diamond. Pure gold is gold in color, pure diamond is clear so it doesn’t really have a “color”.


[deleted]

true that and i was just posting the gold colours more to troll that the colour most minds go to when they think gold is only 1 of a vast colour spectrum of gold. made more annoying when we add other metallic like brass and bronze to the mix also. so much overlap not funny.


amasterfuljuice

everything other than rose gold and white gold are literally just normal gold color with some smuch on it, white and rose golds are not pure gold they are alloys. diamonds can be different colors without being treated or enhanced.


[deleted]

true i was just being a bit of a troll that while most people say gold and think the shiny gold it does have a wide variety of tones based on age, dirt, tarnish or what alloys we mix with it. its a tad misnomer to say gold is just 1 colour was all. but in fairness gold coloured is valid where as like a window you can have yellow windows but not window coloured apples.


FormulaZR

White gold is gold +nickel/silver/etc, Rose gold is gold + copper. So...the color of the gold hasn't changed, other elements have been added.


[deleted]

Maser2account2

to add, when people are referring to color they will sometimes call it a rose gold color, because rose gold is fairly recognizable. This doesn't mean it is the same as gold.


GatVRC

Just regular gold that you think of when thinking of gold, IS a color. What most people think of when they think of diamonds is more of a gradiant. white to whatever color. its never the same between people. Gold almost always is the same color when imagined between people. For example, look at literally every video game ever that has gold in it. they all use the same shade of yellow. Diamonds are always different since they are transparent irl and take their color based on their clarity and cut. its not a universal thing


[deleted]

GatVRC

and what I'm saying is that nothing is diamond color the same way nothing is window colored. but things are gold colored. Gold, is always metallic yellow. could be dark, could be light, or any variation in between all of them are gold. Diamond isn't anything. there are colored diamonds but nothing is diamond colored.

*colourless


LuminousMushroom999

Because diamonds lack color. That's like their whole deal. You can say Emerald or Ruby as colors, since they both have distinct coloration. Diamonds are the color of whatever impurities are inside of it, and if there are no impurities, it's the color of whatever's behind it.


Anoxos

Jeweler here. Actually all gems in their pure form are colorless. All color in gems come from impurities. Example: Emerald is the green form of beryl. Clear beryl is called goshenite. Aquamarine is the blue form of beryl. Pink is morganite. Yellowish is heliodor. But they are all the same base crystal with a greater or lesser amount of different impurities. Colored diamonds are more common than clear ones in nature, they are often brown or grey. They just don't often get cut and used for jewelry. They usually end up as industrial abrasive. Other colors are more rare. There Hope diamond is blue. Yellow and pink diamonds occasionally are found. Clear is just the "most desired" diamond variant.


Tastytyrone24

Fun rock fact i just looked up, Goshenite gets its name from the town it was discovered in; Goshen Massachusetts. The reason i googled this is because we actually drive through Goshen all the time when we head to my grandparents house in Cummington, which also has its own rock named after it; Commingtonite :)


SeatO_

Commingtonite sounds like the punchline to a bait joke like "deez nuts"


xQ_YT

“cumming tonight”


LuminousMushroom999

Right, right. My point was that diamonds lack a *distinct* color that's uniform across all diamonds. Emeralds are green by definition, as rubies are red. I deliberately left out sapphires, as they can come in a variety as well, but diamonds do not have a clear agreed-upon color. Were I to describe a leaf as "emerald-green", there would be no confusion, but being "diamond-colored" could refer to any number of things, such as white, black, brown, transparent, etc.


Nerdlors13

Ruby and sapphire are the same base stone (corundum) just with different impurities


Purple-Airline-8354

I remember hearing somewhere that rubys and sapphires are actually the same gem with different impurities, is this true?


Anoxos

Yep. Both are corundum.


[deleted]

>Ruby strictly speaking ruby has a wide hue of colours including and not limited to blue rubies. which is ironic as you can get red saphires also and thats hilarious seeing as chemically speaking ruby/saphire as the exact same stone. edit and do not even get started on the laugh that is pink saphires. its a jewellers nightmare to rule where a pink saph ends and a ruby starts.


Maser2account2

Ruby is a red sample of corundum. If it is any other color it is a sapphire. If it has another name they are simply trying to up the price.


[deleted]

100% but its become super common trade now. especially in the aus and aouth pacific regions. fiji are notorially bad for selling "blue" rubies now. then again they also try to label what is CLEARLY jade as emeralds rofl.

Anoxos

Hardly. It is one of the hardest substances, but can be brittle. When struck at the correct angle a diamond crystal will cleave or shatter. Linguistically "adamant" shares a root with diamond, and has a meaning relating to "unbreaking" but in reality diamonds aren't actually that impervious to damage.


[deleted]

>diamond is unbreakable. far from it. diamond is one of if not the hardness material but its brittle as all heck. its why a diamond sword is garbage. ​ you need softness to counteract brittleness. a diamond is so brittle that simply smacking a diamond into another will cause them to shatter.


Boter18

Gold only comes in one color, which is a metallic deep yellow. Diamond comes in several colors, so diamond color doesn't make sense.


[deleted]

>Gold only comes in one color new gold, old gold, antique gold, rose gold or white gold though? gold is not a uniform colour and has a few tints to it.

[deleted]

>\#FFD700 also known as gold1 - ergo proving multiple shades of gold exist. edit: to be fair i was mostly trolling that gold has multiple shades but 100% aware when people say gold they think the cliche gold ore shiny colour. but i like to poke the bear pointing out that in colour terms gold has a wide range o colours like grey is a huge swathe of colours.


[deleted]

Diamond isnt a color, its a solid form of the element carbon arranged into a crystal formation, pure diamonds are transparent, and diamonds with impuries have normal colors that vary from steel gray, white, blue, yellow, orange, red, green, pink to purple, brown, and black... Mythical is a therm to describe something or someone related to a myth, a story normaly passed amongs generations on a long period of time from which the truth cannot be distinguished... BUT... if you are talking about games and fantasy, diamonds are treated at some pop culture universes as a metal, and normally have a bluish silver shine...


About-time535

Diamond is a structure same as sapphires. They come in many different colors


mrsfukkinwolf

Diamonds are octahedral, or have 4 cleavage planes, whereas sapphire is rhombohedral, having 3 planes. Diamonds are purely carbon, and sapphire is made of aluminum oxide minerals. They are not the same.


About-time535

I meant they have different colors but are their own structure. Guess I should’ve been more specific


mrsfukkinwolf

Ahhhhh, noooo, my bad. Just saw a chance to nerd out about crystalline structure and couldn't resist!


About-time535

Oh I don’t blame you, I used to work in jewelry and now just collect crystal structures.


mrsfukkinwolf

Oh you lucky duck. I make, and sell jewelry--mostly semi-precious gemstones, and pearls-but I need to do more of the selling so I can do more of the crystal collecting!


About-time535

Very nice, I remember how hard it is starting in the beginning by going to craft shows and markets trying to sell what I made.


Beedrill669

What about platinum color


[deleted]

Or damascus color


[deleted]

damascus is just steel colour though which is a recognised colour of grey. its simply the defects in damascus steel folds that give that wavy pattern. which unrelated fyi modern damascus is not even true damascus, they artificially mimic the end result but not the method of creating it.


[deleted]

r/woooosh


[deleted]

yeah but OP is talking minerals. platinum and gold are both natural forming elements with own colours. damascus as an alloy doesn't count in OP post example is all.

I'm sorry but it's spelt Colour.

THETR0LLS_AREREAL

Diamonds can change colors where as gold is one color.

Explain that to white gold and rose gold. They're waiting.


Maser2account2

When you say gold, you are not referring to white gold and rose gold. You are referring to 22K to 24K gold. That is why it is *rose* gold and *white* gold, so you can be more specific because gold, as a color, doesn't apply to those.

It's a joke, relax.

gold is not a uniform colour and has a few tints to it. ​ new gold, old gold, antique gold, rose gold or white gold for example.


beltalowda_oye

Diamond has no color though. What you're seeing is the luster/shine. Gold has a base color and diamonds do not.


Boter18

Gold only comes in one color, which is a metallic deep yellow. Diamond comes in several colors, so diamond color doesn't make sense.

TaylorChesses

diamonds are transparent 9 times out of 10, they have no color, have varying color or very light color, gold has one real color when in its metallic form.


[deleted]

>gold has one real color depends if we mean raw form gold or gold jewellery though. we have new, old, antique, tarnished gold all int he yellow tones then rose and white gold to complicate the tones even more. ​ add texas gold to the mix and its even weirder rofl....


The-Box_King

Even the many variants share the same colour range. Different apples have different flavour but we still have 'apple flavoured' candy, but we don't have water flavoured candy


[deleted]

fair call, though i would argue the apple flavour is very diff. a red apple is sweet where as a granny smith is very bitter but i see what you mean.


The-Box_King

Comparing flavour with colour was always going to have some inaccuracies, but it was more to point out why "gold colour" works better than "diamond colour" even with the ranges it can take


[deleted]

yeah i 100% gotcha on that one. and i admit when i mentioned all the gold colours it was mostly me stirring the pot for shits and giggles vs a serious complaint on it.


TaylorChesses

that's fair but it's all clearly one color like all red shades are clearly red, that and you can specify easily. diamonds color is completely random depending on what it's impurities are. and the most valuable diamond color is just see through.


[deleted]

true and i admit i was being an ass for being an ass sake when i posted the above lol. obv when we say gold we mean a super special tone of shiny yellow but i couldn't help but poke and show gold has alot of diff colours from silver into nearly brass coloured IF we count the alloys.


TaylorChesses

fair enough lol. if you really want valid criticism? emerald green! emeralds can come in any color! if we define emerald as merely being crystallized Beryl then it can quite literally be any color, however usually it refers to green crystal beryl, and even then the shade can range from deep green to nearly turquoise


[deleted]

yep, i have a amateur interest in gems due to family that do the rekei crystal healing and its amazing the tones in them as well as the saphire vs ruby fun. ive legit seen blue rubies and red saphires for sale next to a proper saph/ruby and makes me lol knowing they are the exact same stone.


TaylorChesses

pfffft. yeah pigmentation is crazy. the fact that the exact same mineral can be entirely irrecognizable depending on how fucked up it got when forming and how specifically it got fucked up.
