Would this grain bill make an Amber Ale?

I am planning a small experimental 1 gallon BIAB batch of something like an Amber Ale. According to one article I've found:

Description of Typical Grain Bill

Amber Ale is traditionally made with American two row pale malt as the base, making up 60-85% of the grain bill. Medium to dark crystal malts are used to provide color and caramel flavor, typically making up 10-20% of the grain bill.

My Proposed Grain Bill

  • 2 lbs. Briess Organic 2-Row
  • 0.5 lb. Briess Caramel 60L
  • 0.5 lb. Crisp Amber Malt

If I were to follow the amounts above, which would put my base malt at 66% and medium/dark malts at 33% (higher than normal for this style), what would I get?

Would it simply be a darker than normal Amber Ale or would it cross into another style?

I figure approximately 20-22 SRM. You might be pushing the color a bit towards the darker end, but it will work I think. Maybe go to 7oz each of the C60 and the Amber.
