THE AMBERS

Amber colors

Ambers are the warm, resinous yellows with a glow of orange running through them. There are 58 named ambers across six shades, most of them pale, and every one of them reads warm and takes black text. They also print unusually well: nine in ten come back from CMYK within what a press holds.

Of the 16.8 million colors in sRGB, 58 ambers carry a name. The ones in the lists designers and developers reach for.
