The color pink isn't on the rainbow spectrum so the idea of Pink Diamond being defective makes sense, since she wouldn't be in White's spectrum of color.
So here's the obligatory Red Diamond AU where Pink comes out the correct color.
She's still the silliest diamond but doesn't cause nearly as much trouble as Pink did. She's still very indignant about being treated like less of a diamond because of her size. But she hardly has tantrums the way Pink does.
Noble was created as Red Diamond's playmate, once the Diamonds noticed how bored and lonely Red was on Homeworld.
She's classier than other Spinels as Red wanted her to look the part of a Diamond's "Best Friend"
She looks sweet, but Noble has a tendency to be needlessly cruel to any Gems she sees as "beneath" her, especially Rubies. Fortunately, Noble adores Red Pearl and Pearl hates seeing others upset. Noble tries to be nice when she's around Pearl.
Noble is terrified of Red Diamond, and takes every opportunity to stay away from her, Red may not care for Noble but it's still and act of rebellion, so Noble often gets punished.
Why hello there! It's been a while since I've draw anything SU related, and even longer since I've actually been on tumblr lol
But I recently went down memory lane of old drawings I did and suddenly got the urge to draw again after not feeling it for years! SO! Here we have some forms for Garnet and Amethyst for my Red Diamond au! As well as slightly updated forms for Blue, Yellow, and Pink Pearl for my Steven and The Stevens AU. Some MORE slightly updated forms for my CG!Spinel, and a Ruby and Sapphire corruption lol
I tried making as many as I could, but between (almost) weekly hospital visits and being ill I couldn't get to everyone I wanted . Merry Christmas to everyone, though!!
"Hey, uh, Miss Diamond? Some kid just knocked out a bunch of our goons and is claiming you hired him?"
[Her office was empty. Nothing but papers & photos of a few familiar faces scattered on her desk & a bulletin board up on the wall that hadn’t been there beforehand.]
Zircon was given Cherry Pearl after winning her first major case
Cherry Pearl works as Zircon's secretary, taking calls, making appointments, etc. and takes pride in her work. But she would much rather defending innocent Gems in the courtroom than taking their calls. Zircon's is rather forgetful when she's not in front of a judge, so she encourages her Pearl to learn Homeworld's laws so that she can have an extra set of eyes on any given case.
Unfortunately, that's all Cherry Pearl is allowed to do.
Pearl hates her lot in life, and despises the Gems that treat her as "Less than".

Text Version from left to right in list form:
1: Bort (They-Them pronouns): They rubbed their eyes once and thought it was cool (in reference to the dark circles around their eyes),
They're grumpy but sensible,
HUGE Jellyfish nerd,
They lost some hair in an accident with Cinnabar, they took it well.
2: Y.D (Yellow Diamond, They-Them pronouns): THE speed demon,
Full of dad jokes,
Can still pull a good prank,
They own many bracelets,
Has spent the most time with Blue Diamond (My OC),
They're the 2nd tallest gem
3: Green Diamond (They-Them pronouns): Firm but fair,
They're surprisingly sarcastic,
They can be a bit insensitive at times, but they're working on it!
They are the shortest Diamond
4: Red (They-Them pronouns): The beloved head gem,
No one has ever seen them angry,
They still hold some sadness,
They're always up for a game
5: Dia (They-He pronouns): A super idol for the Lunarians,
They're usually on the moon, but always makes time for home,
Owns many many outfits,
He's still a big softie

Some redesigns of all the diamonds from the Houseki no Kuni manga!! (Some with more changes than others.......) Their AU designs are somewhat inspired by events and arcs in the story! I have a list of all the canon gems but I'm not doing them in order, maybe when I've drawn them all I will post their age order (possibly including my OCs in that list)
I wanna reiterate that these are simply my headcanons for them, and I don't wish to take away from anyone else's headcanons or the actual canon- I'm just having fun and trying to tell stories :)
