No. A diamond will never 'turn colours'.

A diamond usually contains traces of other elements, such as nitrogen, which gives diamond a yellow cast. Heating a diamond with traces of nitrogen will enhance or intensify the saturation of yellow in the stone, but will not change its basic colour from yellow.

As well, faceted diamonds are designed to reflect all colours of the rainbow. Heating a diamond will not alter this characteristic, even in a 'yellow' diamond.

Finally, be aware that heated or treated diamonds have less value than untreated stones. A certified gemologist will always be able to detect enhancements in a diamond and lower its value accordingly.
