Fast, exploratory and fun, you share a love of action. Crimson aims at the goal; Amber brings the crowd. The friction is task versus people: who gets heard, and how fast.
One difference: familiar, with a useful contrast.
Axis by axis
Pace: Crimson Fast, Amber Fast
Both of you like to move. Decisions come quickly and energy stays high, but you can egg each other on into rushed choices. Agree on one or two decisions a month that you deliberately sleep on.
Focus: Crimson Task, Amber People
Crimson leans Task and Amber leans People on focus. One of you notices feelings first, the other notices the problem first. That combination is powerful, but you may talk past each other. Try "Do you want help solving this, or do you want me to listen?"
Approach: Crimson Explore, Amber Explore
You both enjoy spontaneity and new possibilities, so life together rarely gets dull. The risk is that bills, chores and follow-through fall through the cracks. Automate or assign the boring essentials.
