I study Hebrew at a couple places but I get much of schooling from bibles.org....great collection including Ginsberg Massorah text,,,and the strongs and much work from Bullinger.....Again you dont have to speak it word for word but you must become famialiar with it....

Again your Hebrew fails you,,,,see your thinking that amber means a color....It doesnt,,the word is taken form chashmal khash-mal' of uncertain derivation; probably bronze or polished spectrum metal:--amber.
There is not a Hebrew word ford the word "amber" as we know it in english.....
