What color is Benjamin Moore Pumpkin Blush?
Benjamin Moore Pumpkin Blush 2156-20 is a saturated mid-tone orange with a distinctly warm, earthy cast. Its #CC7F2D color value combines a noticeable red-orange presence with a muted brown-gold base, keeping it from reading like a bright citrus shade. In direct daylight, Pumpkin Blush can look clearer and more energetic, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper, clay-like side. It has enough depth for a dining room wall, a painted front door, or a concentrated accent such as kitchen cabinetry or a fireplace surround. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark wood, aged brass, charcoal, or deep olive for contrast that lets the orange remain the focal point.

LRV of Pumpkin Blush
Pumpkin Blush has an LRV of 26.86% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 26.86%, 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.
