What color is Benjamin Moore Greenfield Pumpkin?
Benjamin Moore Greenfield Pumpkin HC-40 is a muted, medium-depth brown with clear orange and earthy golden undertones. Its #9B7149 color value gives it a sun-baked, clay-like appearance rather than a bright pumpkin orange. On walls, Greenfield Pumpkin can ground a dining room, study, or entryway, especially alongside warm white trim and natural wood. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or a painted accent wall, where its brown base keeps the color from feeling overly bold. Pair it with creamy beige, soft tan, charcoal, aged brass, leather, and terracotta-toned textiles for a layered, earthy interior.

LRV of Greenfield Pumpkin
Greenfield Pumpkin has an LRV of 18.86% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 18.86%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
