About Pumpkin Spice
Pumpkin Spice (126) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 33, Pumpkin Spice 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 Spice'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 Butterscotch (2157-30), it's darker and warmer.
How Pumpkin Spice changes with the light
Pumpkin Spice has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms
Pumpkin Spice's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Pumpkin Spice can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Pumpkin Spice will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
