No, they can be many different colors. People often don't know that gourds are in the same family(Cucurbita). And if you have seen any type of gourd you know they aren't all orange. Many gourds are actually not orange but many different colors like whites, yellows, and dark greens and grays. So if you count in gourds and the fact that pumpkins can be different colors they are not all orange in color. Happy Halloween!
