What people use a pumpkin screen for
As a saturated color, pumpkin makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Orange screens give a warm, sunset-like glow with almost no blue light, so they work well as a relaxed evening ambient light behind a desk or TV, as seasonal (autumn or Halloween) decoration, and as a high-visibility backdrop. Because orange sits between red and yellow, it also helps confirm that the red and green sub-pixels of a panel are both firing.
As a test pattern, a flat pumpkin field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red sub-pixel.
