Benjamin Moore

Jack O'Lantern

2156-30

Jack O'Lantern is a saturated mid-tone orange with strong warm undertones rooted in amber and golden-yellow. At an LRV of 32.43, it absorbs more light than it reflects, producing a solid, assertive presence on surfaces. The hue sits in classic pumpkin-orange territory without veering into red or rust.

In artificial light, the amber undertones become more pronounced. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Chestertown Buff, Golden Straw, White Dove, Hale Navy, and Black Pepper, which either complement its warmth or provide necessary contrast to contain its intensity.
