The special color combination of pink-orange or orange-pink is known as Padparadscha sapphire, the rarest sapphire color, and a special rarity. However, natural sapphires come in almost every color of the rainbow including pink, rose, violet, yellow, orange, green, blue-green, or white (colorless).

When one thinks of sapphires, the first thing that comes to mind is an intense blue color.

Classic blue sapphires contain iron and titanium, the additional element chromium gives corundum the color pink, and more chromium parts make a sapphire more reddish and thus a ruby. Sapphires get their color from trace elements in the mineral corundum. In addition, the color spectrum can be classified into many other hues as well as color nuances from light to dark. Sapphires come in all three primary colors: Blue, Yellow, and Red.
