For me personally it would be color, followed by clarity.
For the consumers I've seen over the years, it has increasingly become cost, cost and cost alone; everything else is just so much noise as far they are concerned.

Cut then color.
It's nice to have a colorless diamond but when price is a factor sometimes you have to go to H or I or even J to keep the price down.
If you have a yellow ring, these colors may work as long as the cut is good.
Cut affects any color whereas color doesn't affect the cut., Did that make sense?
A well cut stone will sparkle regardless of the color.
