What do we think?
I like the vintage-y tones in this one but I'm not sure how I'd be able to use it in most of my scrapping. I think most of my colour palettes tend more towards Mustard Seed. I'm trying so hard not to get caught up in the hype of *must have them all*...

I'm not overly impressed with the colours so far, amd haven't bought any of them.

I like it, but I don't love it. It seems fairly close (in the same family at least) to the mustard seed color, just more saturated & deeper, whereas mustard seed is brighter. They'd both make nice sunflowers! I do tend to gravitate towards more vintage-looking colors, so this one might be something I'd use. So far, the only one I've liked was the pink/salmon-ey one ("Abandoned Coral"). Haven't purchased any yet though.

I think it looks more home decor, so if I needed it for an altered something or other, I'd get it. But yeah, really close to the mustard one. Probably if you blended mustard and some walnut, you'd get a similar look. I actually don't use my TH Distress inks that much (I know... shame on me!) so I'm not even tempted by this color of the month thing  |

I like it, I am on a pre-order programme with a local shop for the whole year's inks. I don't love it to bits or regard it as a must-have though. The January Cracked P was a must-have. The Coral filled a gap in my stash of colours nicely. Mermaid and this one are good, but not gobsmacking.

By itself, it's not very appealing to me. But on a layout, it's a nice tone of gold that would go with a lot of the colors I like. I haven't bought any of these so far. I plan to get the set of all 4 mini inks when they are released in May. That will satisfy my curiosity. If I really love any of them, I'll add more items once I've seen the colors in the context of my other supplies.

I think they're very pretty, but better for fall than spring.

I love yellows and oranges so I've liked the releases so far.

Thanks for posting- I'd forgotten to check to see what the new color was when April rolled around.

Initially I didn't think I liked if, but the more I see it I thin it's a colour I will use... Heck even if it's not I would bet that somehow I'll end up owning it! I love distress inks! Mini pads are a great idea! I wish I hadn't already bought 2!! I

I so think I'm going to end up buying the mini inks, not because I need them, just because their marketing works!

At this point is is not a must have. But I am not ruling it out completely. Can't wait to see what the rest of the year's colors are.

I agree. I need to get off the "must have it" mentality. I love his stuff but about 9 mos. ago, I made a spinner to hold all of his Distress pads and cannot fit new colors in there so I am not buying the new ones. |

to me, it's not really an amber color, more like a mustardy yellow (the bottle of paint looks just like the bottle of French's mustard in our frig). Just like the one from last month (?) that was titled some sort of coral, but it didn't look coral to me at all. Not liking this color at all.

I have ordered them all. I love distress ink for everything but stamping.
I don't think the colour on the packaging really shows the colour that the amber is to me based on his swatch though.
I pre ordered it anyway.

I pre ordered it anyway. I agree on the packaging colour comment. IMO the very early inks / first releases more than 10 years ago (I still have and use them) were accurate. Some time ago the label colours became "unreliable". A (then) friend who owned a LSS (since sold) had a shrinkwrapped batch of pads with three different colours of labels on the same ink. Long story short: I love the Ranger factory's colours. Their sticker supplier's colours, not so much. |

^^^ good point, because now that I'm looking at it again, the swatch of ink on the page looks totally different than the label on the bottles and ink pad.
(it's still not what I consider as 'amber' but then again, there are a lot of different types of amber.)

I really don't think wild honey is that orange in real life.
Until I actually have it and swatch it myself who knows what the colour will look like.
