About Pumpkin Blush
Pumpkin Blush (2156-20) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 28, Pumpkin Blush absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Pumpkin Blush's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for living rooms, bedrooms and accent walls. Next to Amber (168), it's warmer and more colorful.
