Diamonds can occur in nearly any color, though yellow and brown are by far the most common. "Black" diamonds are not truly black, but rather contain numerous dark inclusions that give the gems their dark appearance. Diamonds with a detectable hue other than yellow or brown are known as colored diamonds. If the color is strong enough, a stone may be referred to as a fancy colored diamond by the trade. Colored diamonds contain impurities or structural defects that cause the coloration, while pure or nearly pure diamonds are transparent and colorless. Most diamond impurities replace a carbon atom in the crystal lattice. The most common impurity, nitrogen, causes a slight to intense yellow coloration depending upon the type and concentration of nitrogen present. The color scale for colorless diamonds goes from 'D' (colorless) to 'Z' (dark yellow).

Flip your diamond upside down and place it over some newsprint, if you can clearly read through the stone it is not diamond. Fog test: put diamond in front of mouth and fog it like you would a mirror if it stays fogged for 2-4 seconds its fake, a real diamond will disperse heat instantaneously.
Diamonds come in almost any colour the rarer being pink and blue.

A diamond can basically be any colour.White, blue, red, pink, green, yellow, brown etc. A diamond has a density of 3.5 so you can check if it is a diamond by measuring its density.
