Valspar

Pumpkin Squash

3009-5

Pumpkin Squash is a deep burnt orange with a strong golden brown undertone. The browned gold undertone keeps the orange grounded. Try it on an exterior entry door, dining room walls, or lower cabinets with soapstone counters.

The color needs good light, because its LRV is 25. Cream trim and blackened metal keep the orange from feeling novelty. Sample beside brick before using it outside.
