No, for a naturally coloured diamond, and yes, for a treated diamond with enhanced colour.
Any diamond can be treated, either chemically or by radiation, to enhance its natural colour. Many naturally coloured diamonds require no treatment, because their colour is judged to be naturally ideal.
A certified gemologist can identify a naturally coloured diamond, and can also identify and describe treatments to a diamond intended to enhance its natural colour.

How color of diamond can change by radiation?
When a natural -- not man-made diamond -- is radiated, the crystals containing trace amounts of minerals other than carbon, the natural, latent colour of the stone is enhanced. Whenever a diamond is radiated, it is imperative that this process be documented, so that any potential buyer understands where the diamond 'got its colour'. A gemologist can determine whether or not a diamond has been irradiated and its colour, therefore, enhanced. Intensely coloured diamonds are generally more valuable than diamonds with less prominent colours. As well, naturally coloured diamonds are more valuable than diamonds that have been enhanced.
What are fascinating diamonds?

Do diamonds have rainbow colours?
Diamonds themselves are typically clear or colorless, but they can exhibit a range of colors due to impurities or structural defects. When light passes through a diamond, it can create a spectrum of colors, often referred to as "fire," which can resemble rainbow hues. However, this effect is not the same as a diamond being inherently rainbow-colored; it is a result of light refraction and dispersion. Some diamonds, known as fancy colored diamonds, can naturally appear in various colors, including blue, pink, and yellow, but true rainbow colors are not typical.
