Color in diamonds is absorption and reflection of light.

This is caused in three ways:
Diamonds are pure carbon so something else was caught in the stone during the formation of the diamond which changes the absorption spectrum. Take yellow and orange diamonds for example they contain nitrogen while blue diamonds contain boron.
Gray, violet and some green diamonds contain hydrogen. As you can see these are all elements that were caught in the stone during its formation.

A diamond’s shape is just that: the outward appearance of the stone, whether it is round, oval etc.; while the cut refers to how the diamond itself is fashioned, how many facets and so on. Below I’ll examine the various diamond shapes and tell a little about each of them, in order to help you make that all-important choice.
