Do you want to use this color in your promotional items? Here's what you should know!

Amber is the color of hazard, safety, security, and caution. It’s a yellowish orange inspired by the precious gem of the same name, which has been around since the Stone Age.

Because it’s noticeable and not overly bright, amber is a good safety color. You’ll also see amber in traffic lights, road signs, speed bumps, and constructive equipment.
