You might be thinking to yourself, if most of these recipes call for orange pumpkins then what are the other pumpkins good for?
Well, you can simply place them around your island as decoration. Or if you have enough of one type of color, you can also take an existing Spooky Pumpkin decoration to a workbench and customize it. For instance, it takes four of any other pumpkin in order to change the color of the Spooky Tower.
