You definitely can see a tint in M color diamonds. The higher the color, the brighter a diamond will appear, assuming they are well cut. In a modern cut stone, I'd want no lower than I color for an engagement ring, but I know people who did go with J color in superideal cut stones (such as from Whiteflash.com) and were happy. However, I do have a couple of right hand rings with very low color light yellow antique cut diamonds set with yellow gold around them to enhance the color (and white diamond halos for contrast).

Can you show us your right hand rings in yellow gold? Would love to see!

I don't have any really great pictures, but this can give you an idea. I have actually considered selling the round one since I literally have never worn it! The antique cushion is a Y-Z and the round OEC is O color.

Both are beautiful. I am very color sensitive, so for a white diamond I cannot go below G, but for a diamond that is meant to be warm, especially with an antique cut, there’s a beautiful charm to it.

Some ppl can pick up tint very easily while others can’t. I’m in the can’t category. Also, I think your skin tone plays a big part too. I’m olive and love yellow gold bc of my coloring. With that being said, I’m obviously not sensitive to warmer stones. I love an icy white RB, who wouldn’t, but I’m ok with near colorless and warmer stones as well. As a matter of fact, I’m more than ok. For me, H, is my sweet spot and G is just so beautiful to me. But I don’t need nor care for anything lower than a G, but I’ve also seen some M/O European cut stones that had me drooling at the mouth. If I had the budget I would not think twice in purchasing either.

I wouldn’t turn down an L or M if I was setting it in yellow or rose assuming the cut was ideal. The gold will pull warmth in the stone anyway and a high grade cut can also mask some warmth.
To me it’s kind of pointless to spend the money on G and up if you’re setting it in yellow. I’d rather put that money into cut and size!

agree. I was going to say cut can make a big difference
