The D-to-Z color range refers to which attribute?

Explanation:
The D-to-Z range describes a diamond’s color. It measures how much body color the diamond has, from colorless at the D end to a faint yellow or brown tint at the Z end. This scale is used for white diamonds and helps explain value: the less color, the higher the grade and typically the higher the price. It’s separate from carat weight (size), inclusions/clarity, or fluorescence, and it doesn’t apply to fancy colored diamonds beyond this range.
