I think dark tan is so far wrong in the official file that it's in desperate
need of a correction. It looks much closer to the color Bricklink refers to as
medium dark flesh, which appeared in some of the Prince of Persia sets. That has
a rich orangish tone, whereas actual dark tan is a bit darker and has much less
saturation. IMO your alt file has it exactly right. I do think there's logic in
keeping one file for instruction colors and one for render colors, but if
nothing else the hue should be correct.
I used your LDConfig_alt file the last time I tried any rendering though and
that's much better, although I think in that file dark brown (308) actually
looks much better using the regular ldconfig version. The original dark brown is
#352100, and your alt file is #493400 which seems too much brighter to me and
also has the hue shifted a little more toward a yellow hue. I suspect that both
are too yellow, but I can tell you for sure that the alt version looked way off
in my render.
