Amber is one of the six official Ink colors of Disney Lorcana.

Most cards belong to 1 of the six available ink colors. Dual Ink cards exist but are a rare occurrence, first added since Archazia's Island. Deck building restrictions in Core Constructed format allow up to 2 different ink colors in a deck in no particular proportion. Other Formats allow for any combination of colors.

Nature

Amber glimmers are purposeful. Patient and dedicated, they're able to pursue causes and ambitions with single-minded persistence. They often work within communities, either from above as a leader or from within as a healer, bodyguard, or just a loyal follower.

Amber ink embodies the spirit of healing; those who harness the ink are defensive and are dedicated to their teammates. Glimmers summoned with this ink protect their friends at all costs, serving as bodyguards, healers, or cards that directly affect other cards. This ink values the aspect of community, emphasizing patience, dedication, and a sense of belonging and responsibility.

Amber ink can also represent amplified aspects of protection, such as persistence and ambition. Amber Glimmers will not always be protective; they will be relentless and stop at nothing to pursue their cause.

Amber is represented by the color yellow or gold. Its icon is a shield with an interconnected notch to symbolize its interconnected and team-oriented discposition. Ravensburger Creative Director Shane Hartley shared more characteristics for Amber Glimmers, stating that Amber "purposeful, patient and dedicated". As they often work within their community, the icon was inspired by knots and weaving to illustrate the strength found by working together. The whole is greater than the individual."

The Amber Chromicon and Amber Coil induce remedying effects on their user, helping them overcome physical and emotional burdens.
