Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is likely the pumpkin made his stool that color and pumpkin is not harmful to dogs. However that stool looks very watery. If it continues I recommend having his stool checked by a vet for intestinal parasites. good luck and kisses to Creature!
