The Luminous Amber Colour
Glide 81395 Amber is the deep, warm golden-brown of natural amber — luminous, rich, and timelessly beautiful. Deeper and richer than Butterscotch and Honey Gold, with the specific resinous depth of the fossilized material, Amber serves as the richest, deepest warm golden-brown in the Glide line for autumn, nature, and warm jewel-tone quilts. In the surrounding warm range, Glide Vegas Gold covers the muted metallic gold, Glide Ginger the spiced warm brown, and Glide Acorn the true woodland brown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Amber sit between the golds and the browns?
Amber is the bridge — deeper than any true gold, more luminous than any true brown. When gold thread looks too bright on a fabric and brown looks too flat, Amber's resinous golden-brown is usually the answer. It is the richest position in Glide's warm golden family.
What autumn fabrics does Amber match best?
Deep harvest golds, maple and oak leaf prints at their darkest warm tones, spiced pumpkin fabrics, and jewel-tone autumn batiks. Amber also blends into honey-toned woodgrain prints and amber-glass vintage aesthetics beautifully.
Does Amber's sheen enhance autumn quilting designs?
Notably — the trilobal polyester glow in a deep golden-brown mimics the luminosity of actual amber. Leaf and swirl motifs quilted in Amber on matching fabric appear lit from within under warm light, which is why it is a frequent pick for competition autumn quilts.
