DIAMOND -- Self Titled is the first painting of the series and on this album cover, you'll find all four original members of the group. This album art was inspired by Destiny's Child's Destiny Fulfilled, Cherish's Unappreciated, and TLC's Fanmail. This is the introduction to the group, but clearly, one of the figures is glazed with a lavender color, while the other three are in shades of pinks, peaches, and reds. I was using color as a way to allude to some of the tropes within musical groups in which there is a constant or sudden dramatic and highly publicized change in lineup. The member in lavender makes no further appearances in the following albums.
