C
Correct answer
Explanation
The word 'amber' derives from the Arabic 'anbar' referring to fossilized resin used as a dye or gemstone, which relates to shading/covering. The other colors don't have this etymological connection - Prussian Blue is named after a region, Grey is from Old English, and Vermilion Red comes from a worm pigment.
