Hi Everyone!
Since monitors vary, I was curious to get folks' opinion on how well these photos convey the subtle shade differences.

I'd say very well (on a Mac Book Pro monitor, which offers a different appearance from the screen on my older Mac at home). Interestingly, colorwise, the FY is most distinctly different from the other two in the top photo, and the WX is most easily distinguished from the other two in the bottom, hand, photo. Honestly though, I am not sure that the appearance of the faceting on the WX doesn't add to its overall different look...

On my monitor, the top pictures make the stones appear to have a stronger yellow in all three stones, but the difference is obvious.  In the bottom picture though, the W-X stone looks a lot lighter than the others , while the middle stone and the far right diamond look almost the same, the color is just a little bit stronger on the FY...I'm surprised that they look so close to be honest.

On my craptastic monitor I am not sure I think these show well, but I don't know how much is my laptop being kind of crappy.  The top one they all look almost over exposed... little contrast to the stones unless I tilt my screen way back.

The bottom one the W-X looks very washed out and I can't see really any difference between the FLY and the FY.

I don't see a lot of difference between the FLY and the FY on my laptop.

My iMac monitor shows less contrast between all stones than my laptop (laptop is a better monitor). On this monitor, it is more difficult to differentiate between the WX and FLY in the first photo and between the FLY and FY in the second photo.

On my work laptop (HP), the differences are quite clear, though more evident in the second photo. Contrary to my expectations, a "privacy screen" actually improves contrast!

HP laptop - the W-X appears lighter when all I can see is the long facets - one side looks like crushed ice - the color is better (more saturated). Other than that, I can see the color gradations pretty well.
