Understanding fancy colors

[echelon6]

So there's a fancy scale, I'm trying to understand it both from a pricing and beauty perspectives.

there's light, fancy, intense, vivid, dark, deep - but from photos on various websites I can see the Deep and Dark ones are just darkened of the same hue. If I want only max hue without any brightening or darkening, which grade do I go for? and separately, which grade commands the highest prices, all else equal?

Intense or vivid. For lab diamonds, ATM the prices seem to be high for deep or dark because there are fewer available on customer-facing platforms.

IMO for beauty it’s somewhere between fancy intense and fancy vivid. The color isn’t quite saturated enough below fancy intense, and visible fire starts taking a hit above fancy vivid.
