Diamonds are found in all colours, from clear to black, and with different defined degrees of colour.

Brown is the most common colour of diamond found. White diamonds are graded for their colour, from D -- colourless, to Z, which is quite yellow.

Coloured diamonds -- according to GIA, found on the Wikipedia page for diamond color, come in these colours:

"Laboratories use a list of 27 color hues that span the full spectrum for colored gems and diamonds (Red, Orangish-Red, Reddish-Orange, orange, Yellowish-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Orange-Yellow, Orangish-Yellow, Yellow, Greenish-Yellow, Green-Yellow, Yellow-Green, Yellowish-Green, Green, Bluish-Green, Blue-Green, Green-Blue, Greenish-Blue, Blue, Violetish-Blue, Bluish-Violet, Violet, Purple, Reddish-Purple, Red-Purple, Purple-Red, Purplish-Red). A modifying color combination can also be added (e.g., Olive or Brown-Olive) for stones without the purest hues. Additionally, for diamonds the following colors are used: White (which are milky), Black (which are opaque), Gray, Pink, Brown."

In addition, any of these colours can be modified by the intensity of the colour in nine grades:

"Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Dark, Fancy Intense, Fancy Deep, Fancy Vivid."

What is a Enhanced Black Diamond?

Usually this means the diamond is natural but not the color -- it was colored to be black. Depending on the process used to color the diamond, the "color enhancement" is either permament regardless of what happens to that diamond or permanent with normal wear and tear (meaning it could lose it's black color in certain sitations - like if subjected to extreme heat).
