No offense, but you guys need to go back to 2nd grade and re-learn your colors

Amber comes from tree sap that hardened over millions of years, and is a Golden Yellow. It's nowhere near red or orange. In the movie Jurassic Park, amber is what the mosquitos with the DNA were hardened in. If you can remember the end of the Dr's cane, that was amber.

It closely resembles the color of honey, but most amber lit displays in electronics are a bit brighter....more like the color of beach sand.

What makes you think this forum's users got past the 2nd grade. Don't think many schools taught the unique colors like amber. We were lucky to get by on the rainbow colors.

Well....the picture looks a little darker than I had imagined, but that could be the angle that it was taken at. Whenever I think of Amber I see a darker tannish yellow. Although, after doing a search on Google this is what I came up with:

"Color: Amber can vary in color from yellow to red, from green to blue, but amber's color is usually honey brown. The best commercial amber is transparent, but some varieties are cloudy."

So the guys that were claming it's closer to an orange weren't technically wrong, but I'd be willing to bet that the color the dash and the radio end up being will be more the traditional color.
