I love diamonds. All shapes and sizes and colors. As long as they are well cut. I do have color preferences however.
For Modern round cuts G is my sweet spot. I wouldn't say no to an E or F though. I think whiter colors work for modern cut stones. And for step cuts I like them in higher colors. D or E would be yummy for step cuts.
For Old cut stones it depends. If I have to pick a color without seeing the stone I would say J is my sweet spot. But it does depend on the specific stone for me with old cuts. There is a tradeoff with higher colors in old cuts that one needs to see with their eyes. We are all different and vary in our preferences. No right or wrong just what makes your heart beat faster.
I love all colored gems but hate windows so that is critical for me more than color.
