The simplest way is to pass a white beam through a triangular prism; the different wavelengths refract at different angles and create a rainbow. Another way would be to pass the beam through a diffraction grating; each wavelength will have maxima at different distances, making a white spot in the centre and many rainbows away from it.

(When you indicate 'white' one must assume the D colour. There may be larger stones in the world, but this is the largest graded with a D colour.) Apparently, it is the DeBeers Centenary Diamond, described as weighing in at 273.85 carats (54.77 g). It is a D colour stone, and is internally and externally flawless. Read more, below.

Black is not a colour and therefor cannot be made by using a colour. Black is a shade of every colour imaginable, just like white. Black is created when all of the shades one colour combine so that they are all absorbed and turn darker and darker.
Is red a light color?
No I would not generally say red is a light colour, but adding white to make pink or mixing it with yellow and white to make a light orange would work. A light colour is one with white in it, so unless the red is mixed with white it wouldn't be a light colour. Red is generally considered to be a very dramatic colour, so no, it is not a light colour unless mixed in one of the ways above. I hope this helped!
What does H-I mean in diamonds?
The term H-I when used to describe a diamond refers to its 'white' colour. In this colour grade, D is the 'whitest' and H-I does show a bit of yellow in the colour. Only a gemologist would truly be able to tell the difference between a diamond of D colour and one of H-i colour with the naked eye and without anything else to compare it to.
What is the colour of white?
White is technically every colour of the spectrum (all the colours you see in a rainbow). People often label white as its own colour though as it's simpler. You can show that white is an amalgamation of every colour by splitting it up. This is achieved by putting a glass triangular prism in the middle of a narrow beam of light and a white piece of paper behind. The paper will show you the light after the prism has diffracted it (diffraction is the apparent bending of light when it passes from one medium to another where there's a change in density). The difference in wavelengths of the different coloured lights (this is how the retina detects colour, sensitivity to wavelength) mean that the different colours get bent different amounts. This will give the image of a rainbow (all the colours of the spectrum) on the piece of paper.
