Until a moment ago, I thought that the new orange was darker than the old orange, but you motivated me to do a color value test on both schemes, and I'm surprised to say that it agrees with you. The key plastic is lighter, which makes the orange look darker on the new scheme, but the orange itself measures as exactly the same color as before! I find this surprising, since a darker orange was clearly called for. Strange.

Yes, it was. Even just a shade or two darker (subjective) wouldn't render the orange as brown but surely would increase contrast, much as the darker blue does -- which, by the way, is significantly darker than the blue on the upper (black) keys which is unchanged from the original version.
