Color is typically created by a material absorbing a certain wavelength (or wavelengths) of light (there's also emission and scattering, but absorption is the primary method).
Diamond's atoms and electrons are very tightly bound, and thus have little to no opportunity to wiggle and absorb any light passing through...hence it is highly transparent as light passes through basically untouched.
Some diamonds have yellow tints because nitrogen has been incorporated in parts of the diamond....these have an extra electron hanging around that is not bound as tightly, and thus these free electrons can interact with incoming light and impart a yellow tint. The more nitrogen, the more light (blue and violet wavelengths) can be absorbed and the deeper the yellow color.
Diamond has the largest transparency of any material.
AnswerFirst diamond comes in all colors. The colorless variety of diamond is also known as white diamond. Color in any gemstone is determined by coloring element present in it, same case is with diamond. Nitrogen (mainly) and Boron are the two coloring element present in diamond. The state of nitrogen and boron in atomic structure plays a vital role in color determination of diamonds. Nitrogen generally gives yellow or brown color while boron gives blue color.
