See also https://github.com/sindresorhus/xterm-colors which uses d7 instead of df throughout. (Disclaimer: I'm just a random visitor Googl/DDGing around and have no clue whatsoever.)

After more digging – the df values are indeed wrong.

See the xterm source at https://invisible-island.net/xterm/#download, file 256colres.pl, which contains the formula for the sequence of color values used in xterm for each of the R/G/B components: (0=00, 95=5f, 135=87, 175=af, 215=d7, 255=ff).

Well, if that's the case, this command might do the trick:
$ sed -i -e 's,df,d7,g' xterm-256color.yaml
