ambered

Turned golden-yellow

Ambered describes something that has taken on the golden-brown color of amber, or that has been preserved or coated in amber resin.

The word usually appears in literary contexts: ambered light filtered through the curtains, an ambered insect frozen in time.

It can also describe things aged to a warm golden hue: ambered whiskey, ambered photographs.
