Why does "dark tan" in LDConfig not look like dark tan?

I don't use dark tan (LDraw color 28) very often because I mostly only model
Technic, but this week I was doing some renders of the modular buildings.  I
rendered the 10197 Fire House and it came out looking like this:

The bricks on the lower half are very yellow.

If I check an official image at Brickset, it looks like this:

Here the dark tan is much darker and less yellow.

Checking the LDConfig file, the color definition is #C59750 which pretty much
looks like my render when viewed in MLCAD or LDView.  So what's going wrong
here?  Is the LDConfig definition wrong?  Is there more than one dark tan?

(...) Color 28 looks right to me, see for example this color chart (done with LDView) (URL) (14 years ago, 17-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yeah, the LDConfig definition is wrong. Dark_Tan has been in the file for a long time, and I think those who can change it have chosen not to mess with colors that we did not add to the file. I'd be happy to change LDconfig in the next update. (...) (14 years ago, 17-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
