Your answer depends on the colour in question.
'White' diamonds, also called colourless, range in colour from no colour, graded as D, and visibly yellow, graded as M to Z.
Coloured diamonds are graded in 27 different colours, listed as "Red, Orangish-Red, Reddish-Orange, orange, Yellowish-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Orange-Yellow, Orangish-Yellow, Yellow, Greenish-Yellow, Green-Yellow, Yellow-Green, Yellowish-Green, Green, Bluish-Green, Blue-Green, Green-Blue, Greenish-Blue, Blue, Violetish-Blue, Bluish-Violet, Violet, Purple, Reddish-Purple, Red-Purple, Purple-Red, Purplish-Red." As well, combinations of these colour names are possible.
As well, these terms are used in describing diamond colour: "...White (which are milky), Black (which are opaque), Gray, Pink, Brown."
Finally, the intensity of the colour is described using nine terms: "Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Dark, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep, Fancy Vivid."
That said, the value of a diamond can be described in these priorities: colour, clarity, carat weight and cut.
A D, Flawless diamond can be the most valuable -- all other characteristics being equal -- of the 'white diamonds'
A Fancy Vivid coloured diamond is usually more valuable -- all other characteristics being equal -- of the coloured diamonds.
Of the 27 diamond colours, Red may be the rarest and Yellow the most common.
Diamond colour and diamond value are best assigned by a gemologist qualified to accurately identify the characteristics of a gem.
