About Pumpkin Cream
Pumpkin Cream (2168-20) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 26, Pumpkin Cream 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 Cream'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 Corlsbud Canyon (076), it's warmer and more colorful.
