What color is Benjamin Moore Soft Pumpkin?
Benjamin Moore Soft Pumpkin 2166-40 is a warm, sunbaked orange with a softened clay quality rather than a sharp, high-energy brightness. Its light-to-mid depth keeps the color approachable on walls, especially in dining rooms, kitchens, mudrooms, or a breakfast nook that gets good daylight. In bright natural light, Soft Pumpkin can read lighter and more apricot-toned, while evening light brings out its richer earthy orange character. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, woven textures, and aged brass for a grounded palette. It also makes a strong choice for an accent wall or painted cabinetry when a full room of color feels like too much.

LRV of Soft Pumpkin
Soft Pumpkin has an LRV of 41.77% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 41.77%, 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.
