Default 2015 350 AWD F Sport TPMS psi is amber?

Coming from a 2IS which I GREATLY miss (not all the spaceship bullshit like this car) the drivers side front PSI on the TPMS screen shows amber some times, then, under the same conditions as last time, does NOT show amber. Why. AND, what does amber even mean? Normally, on the older cars, some manufacturer's will flash the psi reading or change it to a different color when the tire reads 20 or 25% loss of the set rating in the computer. This, I have nooooo idea. I did the math for I think 36psi, which I remember that from the manual, it doesn't add up. Anyone?

It should be white. I think amber means it's low.

36 PSI is the cold pressure for 2014-2020 models. In the 2021-2025 it's 35 front, 36 rear

It could be, but I'm not sure, as it's only amber sometimes, and at different pressures, which confuses the **** outta me.
