Benjamin Moore

Spiced Pumpkin

34

Spiced Pumpkin is an earthy orange deepened by a red undertone that gives it a terra cotta-adjacent quality. With an LRV of 18.68, it absorbs significant light and appears rich and weighty, particularly in lower-light settings. The red shift becomes more evident under warm incandescent bulbs.

Golden Straw and Soft Pumpkin extend its warm palette in lighter registers, while Black Forest Green and Newburg Green create strong complementary opposition. White Dove provides a reliable neutral for trim, preventing the overall scheme from becoming too saturated.

Spiced Pumpkin 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.
