file -> export -> hpgl from rgb color space has wrong pen numbers

When I export the 8 supported colors via file -> export, choose plt - hpgl plotter file

The black colored line comes out as brown

The brown colored line comes out red


I used rgb 0,0,0 for black

i used rgb 165,42,42 for brown (this is what the internet said was brown)


exported file cleaned up and ordered left to right

IN;

SP8;PU-2286 3048;PD-2286 -4572; <should be sp1 black>

SP3;PU-1778 3048;PD-1778 -4572; <correct red>

SP4;PU-1270 3048;PD-1270 -4572; <correct green>

SP6;PU -762 3048;PD-762 -4572; <correct yellow>

SP2;PU -254 3048;PD-254 -4572; <correct blue>

SP5;PU 254 3048;PD254 -4572; <correct magenta>

SP7;PU 762 3048;PD762 -4572; <correct cyan>

SP3;PU 1270 3048;PD1270 -4572; <should be sp8 brown>


I have attached the colors rgb.cdr (renamed with docx extension) and colors rgb.plt that I created and exported


Works fine if I use cmyk color space and colors.
