shiro-iro. (colors in Japanese have a suffix of the word 'iro' which means color. Shiro could also be a name if its used at a certain point in the sentence so it's best to use the -iro suffix to avoid confusion.)

Other Japanese colors:

momo-iro: pink (old version, no one says this much anymore)

pinku: pink

gin-iro: silver

kin-iro: gold

murasaki: purple

aka-iro: red

akai: crimson (generally accepted term in Tokyo dialect)

kuro: dark

kuro-iro: black

midori-iro: green

orengii: orange.

kiro-iro: yellow

ao-iro/aoi: blue

白いダイヤモンド /shi ro i da i ya mon do/. In Japanese, for 'diamond' usually the transliteration of it is used: ダイヤモンド /da i ya mon do/, however if you'd prefer the Japanese word for it (less common) you can replace that with 金剛石 /kon gou se ki/.
