During the formation process -- from carbon -- diamonds can include other minerals, including nitrogen = yellow; boron = blue; nickel, and neighborhood radiation = green and so forth. Brown diamonds occur when the diamond molecular structure is flawed. Other colours -- pink and purple, for example, are currently attributed to plastic deformation after being formed that occurs when the material is erupted to earth's surface.
The GIA lists 27 different colours and shades of colours, depending on the intensity of the colour.
