Right -- that's what got me thinking about it.
There are whitish light sources everywhere during the daytime, including glare and reflections from other vehicles. Amber is certainly a non-natural color created by fewer light sources, and would stand out better against a cluttered background.
I'm just not finding very many ready-to-use options out there, though (looks like all the non-red lights at autolumination.com need custom wiring & battery packs, at least). The Dinotte is obviously a nice-but-pricey choice (as are all their lights), but it's probably overkill for the short sight distances & moderate speeds where I ride. The 5-LED Pyramid is likely the better of the other lights I've seen.
