Orange diamonds without any additional modifying color are extremely rare- many exhibit secondary colors such as brown or yellow. Orange diamonds get their color from nitrogen, the same atom that produces the color yellow. However, the difference between orange and yellow diamonds is how the nitrogen atoms are grouped in the diamond crystal lattice. Slight variations in the structure can cause the diamond to absorb blue and yellow light while selectively transmit orange.
