Amber Eye Candy Give your home a taste of this on-trend color WHILE THE SEMI-PRECIOUS gemstone amber is actually a fossilized resin from trees, the color amber is fresh and alive in home design. The love of amber has a rich history dating all the way back to Greeks and Romans. Amber became a hot commodity in trade routes during the Age of Exploration, at one point even being called the “gold of the North.” The stunning hue naturally made its way to home interiors, most notably in Russia’s Catharina Palace where even the panels of the wall were made of real amber.
