Soot is not a colour description of gem-quality diamonds. However, soot and diamonds are both formed by carbon.
The colour of soot is usually grey or black. There are diamonds with a blue-grey cast, and there are black diamonds, known as carbonado.
Another Answer
Apparently, diamonds are formed by detonation, based on a report, linked below, where "...we report the formation of diamonds as a chemical product of the detonation process itself. The diamonds we observe are 4-7 nm in diameter and make up 25wt% of the soot; in size and infrared spectrum they resemble diamonds similarly isolated from meteorites."
The colour of these diamonds is not given in the abstract published.

Soot refers to particles that give smoke it's dark color?
Yes, soot is a black carbonaceous substance produced during incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. It consists mainly of amorphous carbon and is responsible for giving smoke its dark color.
What are canary diamonds?
Canary diamonds are a type of yellow diamonds known for their intense yellow hue. They are considered one of the most valuable and sought-after fancy colored diamonds due to their rarity in nature and vibrant color. Canary diamonds are typically graded based on the intensity of their yellow color.

Is the color blue natural color of diamonds?
Natural blue diamonds represent one colour of natural diamonds -- others being yellow, orange, green, pink and so forth. Blue diamonds contain boron within their chemical structure, which gives the stone reflective properties that make it appear blue.
What is the major difference between yellow diamonds and clear diamonds?
The major difference between yellow diamonds (also known as fancy yellow diamonds) and clear diamonds is their color. Yellow diamonds get their color from nitrogen impurities in the crystal structure, while clear diamonds, also known as colorless diamonds, have no noticeable color impurities. Yellow diamonds are considered unique and rare, while clear diamonds are more traditional and popular for engagement rings.
