Benjamin Moore

Acorn Squash

258

Acorn Squash by Benjamin Moore is a tawny mid-tone that blends brown, green, and yellow undertones into a single warm hue. With an LRV of 30.85, it sits in the lower-middle range of light reflectance and works well in living rooms, dining spaces, or home offices where warmth without excessive darkness is the goal. The green-yellow shift in its base prevents it from reading as a straightforward brown.

It coordinates naturally with other Benjamin Moore colors such as White Dove, Muslin, Hale Navy, Newburg Green, and Dijon.

Acorn Squash in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
