What color finish

[Bruno]

Yellow or Amber dye?
I think it's a color between the previous but I don't have sufficient experience to be sure.
What do you think?

I mixed red, brown and yellow stewmac dyes to get a similar color.

This is Luthiers Mercantile MEK yellow and it looks like it is close. It is hard to tell for sure because every piece of wood is different and this only has the dye with no finish but it could work.

Could be one, and then the other - there are a bunch of videos on Youtube from the Paul Reed Smith factory, and the body finishing station clip shows a similar color coming from an application of yellow topped by a dilute amber/brown.

I'd call it Amber.  I had a 1989 Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 with that Amber top, Natural Mask, Red (over mahogany) sides and back.
