bug: carbonfox orange is not very orange

Neovim version (nvim -v)

v0.11.4

Operating system/version

Describe the bug

Took me a couple of hours figuring out why using orange color seemed like not changing defaults, until I tried nightfox theme and figured that carbonfox for some reason uses cyan for orange. o_O

Steps To Reproduce

1. Add nightforx colorscheme to neovim with lazy.nvim:

return {
  "EdenEast/nightfox.nvim",

  lazy     = false,
  priority = 1000,

  opts = {
    options = {
      styles = {
        comments = "italic",
      },
    },

    specs = {
      all = {
        syntax = {
          number = "orange.dim.bright",
        },
      },
    },

    groups = {
      all = {
        Special = { fg = "palette.orange.dim" },
      },
    },
  },
}

2. Open any file with syntax and see how in nightfox orange is orange, but in carbonfox it's cyan:

Expected Behavior

I would expect orange color not to be cyan, LOL.

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  {
    "EdenEast/nightfox.nvim",
    opts = {
      options = { styles = { comments = "italic" } },
      specs   = { all = { syntax = { number = "orange.dim.bright" } } },
      groups  = { all = { Special = { fg = "palette.orange.dim" } } },
    },
  },
  -- add any other plugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("carbonfox")
