Well, my SIL is one very practical, accurate individual.
However, I wasn't there myself so it is only hearsay.

A blue diamond isn't "blue". That is a designation
for the clearest white.

If you take a diamond grading course, you will find
the following:

"It is an unfair trade practice to use the term 'blue-white, or any oher term, expression or representation of similar import,
as descriptive of any diamond that under normal, north daylight or its equivalent shows any color or any trace of any color other than blue or bluish."

The diamond industry has its own language. I'm assuming
you saw uncut diamonds. Top quality cut diamonds are often
referred to as blues.
