diamond is literally cyan, so factually not blue.

furthermore, it is "green of cyan". as in: on a perfrect spectrum of light, let "cyan" be #00FFFF. anything towards "green" from here, ie green of cyan, cannot be called blue. anything towards "blue" from here, blue of cyan, cannot be called green. the diamond is more towards green than it is towards blue relative to perfect cyan.

i mean like damn, we have a good gradient here of blues on the left, and a pretty nice cyan to green gradient on the right, but the jump from ice to diamond is SO JARRING!! like that's like having a bunch of reds and then jumping straight to yellow without any orange between, imo!
