The Quintessential Autumn Orange
Glide 80151 Pumpkin is the specific warm, rich orange of a ripe pumpkin — the colour most associated with autumn in American culture. Slightly warmer and more earthy than the brighter Tangerine, with the specific round, warm quality of a real pumpkin, this thread serves autumn seasonal production with the most authentically pumpkin-warm orange available in the Glide line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pumpkin differ from Tangerine?
Tangerine is the brighter, citrus-clean vivid orange, while Pumpkin is deeper, earthier, and rounder in character — harvest rather than fruit stand. On Halloween and Thanksgiving fabrics Pumpkin blends more authentically; on tropical and summer brights, Tangerine is the correct orange.
Is Pumpkin or Spice Brown better for a Thanksgiving quilt?
Use them together: Pumpkin carries the featured orange of pumpkins and maple leaves, while Spice Brown grounds the palette with its cinnamon-brown depth. If choosing only one for allover quilting on a mixed harvest print, Spice Brown usually disappears more gracefully while Pumpkin adds more visible warmth.
What thread completes a Halloween palette with Pumpkin?
A true black for contrast, and Glide's Halloween orange for the brighter costume-orange notes where Pumpkin would read too earthy. All three run at the same weight and tension, so multi-colour Halloween quilts need no machine adjustments between changes.
