I don't like chick peas, and the only place that I have ever had falafel that I liked was in Israel. I also don't agree that amber is a darker shade of the hue yellow. Amber has red in it, yellow does not. Yellow is one of the primaries of light, you can't subractively mix to yellow, but you can to amber.
Here's where being married to a painter is fun. They consider yellow a Primary, where as lighting folks consider yellow a Secondary, thus the reason
CMY is used for secondary color mixing in ML's, w/
RGB as primaries,
etc.. TV systems mix to yellow all the time with Red and Green. So does lighting, thought the lamp/light source varies the mix quality.
Here's WiKis take:

As to Derek's question, the Name of the color is generally subjective. Older LD's "think" about color, based usually on the names as used in
Gel books and such. When I hear Amber, I think
Roscolux R22 or such, not the color of sap. When I think Magenta, it's usually around R46 or so, while an LD raised on
Lee might have a different
image based on the name in a
Lee gel book. My wife and I have often numerous conversations about what magenta looks like. I recall a student many years back, who could not visualize Amber, as he had no knowledge of the fossilized tree resin and didn't know the
gel names.
Ultimately the name of color is merely a reference
point used in communication. Never assume that a person to whom you are describing color too, has the same reference
point, ESPECIALLY a painter.
