Amber is an orange-yellow color that got its name for the material known as an amber. It is famous for being a color used in traffic lights. VT220 terminals were also available in amber.
Usage and symbolism Amber is a symbolic colour of energy and is also a colour worn by Hull City AFC, an English football team. Formal definition In automotive lighting, UNECE Regulations state that direction-indicator lamps and standalone side-marker lamps and reflectors on vehicles must be amber. The color is defined in terms of the CIE 1931 color space as follows: The entirety of this definition lies outside the gamut of the sRGB color space — such a pure color cannot be represented using RGB primaries. The color swatch to the right is a desaturated approximation, created by taking the centroid of the standard definition and moving it towards the D65 white point, until it meets the sRGB gamut triangle. | ||||||||
