"The green color is usually caused by the crystal's coming into contact with a radioactive source at some point during its lifetime, and in geological terms, this is measured in millions of years."

What is green diamond called?
Natural green diamonds are extremely rare. You would call one a 'green diamond'. According to the GIA Web site: "Green diamonds get their color when radiation displaces carbon atoms from their normal positions in the crystal structure. This can happen naturally when diamond deposits lie near radioactive rocks, or artificially as a result of treatment by irradiation."
What makes green diamonds green?
According to Wikipedia, the Dresden Green Diamond, the most famous green diamond, owes its "...unique apple green color is due to natural exposure to radioactive materials..." Some green diamonds are made more green after being irradiated in order to enhance its colour. This process treats or enhances a diamond, and therefore, makes it less valuable than a naturally coloured diamond. A certified gemologist can identify such diamonds.

An irradiated diamond is a diamond that has been exposed to controlled radiation to alter its color. This process can intensify or change the diamond's color, often resulting in hues like green, blue, or yellow. The irradiation treatment is permanent and does not affect the diamond's durability or structure.

What is the most rare diamond color?
The rarest diamond color is the natural red diamond. Most diamond dealers have never seen one, other than a "red" diamond that was originally congac or yellow color, and was treated to look red.

But colorless diamonds are still the most sought after.
