    And difficult to agree upon as to which levels of tone and
    saturation qualify a diamond to be called "canary." One person's
    "canary" is another person's "Fancy Intense" or "Fancy Vivid." To me
    (and most gemologists) the word "canary" is too vague, and leaves
    too much to personal impression. What I envision as "canary" may
    turn up to be "Fancy Light" when it arrives. I could never order a
    fancy colored diamond by a romantic description like "canary"
    "champagne" "cognac" etc., sight-unseen. Give me a more documented
    term.
