1. As you can see on the first 6 types (from magenta to orange), all colors bright in normal mode go white in dark mode. You can test other colors - any color with Brightness>=160 will go white. You must remember color settings for normal mode to properly change respective values for dark mode. I suspect that TC simply ignores base "Font color" settings for normal mode and blindly bumps values for other colors which are obviously related to the base color.
2. Now observe the last two types (orange1 and orange2). They are darker and they have different brightness in normal mode, yet similar colors go the same in dark mode. You may say "I can't see no difference in normal mode, they are already almost the same". Yes, but imagine two similar colors with visible difference in normal mode (for example for files with compressed attribute and for archives) which go almost the same in dark mode - it's wrong. It looks like TC bumps colors to a certain level rather than calculate some mean value.
