pumpkin orange

Autumnal harvest hue

Pumpkin orange is the vivid orange color of a ripe pumpkin—warm, saturated, and distinctly autumnal.

The color dominates Halloween decorations, fall displays, and harvest-themed designs: The leaves turned pumpkin orange in October.

As a compound color term, it specifies a particular shade within the orange family, distinguishing it from burnt orange, tangerine, or rust.
