pale yellows

For a good few weeks, we've been admiring the Fall decorations at a house down the street - the whole of their street frontage is lined with pale yellow pumpkins.  There are over seventy of them: assuming they cost, say, $5 each (and at Gelson's, the nearest supermarket, they were $10 each), that's a lot of expenditure on pumpkins.  And - assuming that they're not going to bake 35 pumpkin pies (with pale yellow flesh) for Thanksgiving, what are they going to do with them?  Pumpkin mulch?  I haven't seen any local critters starting to gnaw them.  

But it was only today that I realized that they are perfectly color-toned and match the fire hydrant.  That's a form of design perfection that surely must take some planning.
