vocabulary简明 Amber is a brownish yellow color. Many cats have green eyes but those with amber eyes are likely to have yellow or white fur.
vocabulary扩展 Amber is also a translucent golden or honeyed-yellow colored gemstone, often used to make jewelry. That's where the color amber gets its name. Amber comes from the ocean floor — most of it is harvested from the Baltic Sea off the coast of Russia. The most likely origin of amber is the Latin word for "bitter," amarus, as the color yellow was often associated with bitterness and envy.
