color/console vs. xterm

[Morten Bo Johansen]

I have the following entry in my .muttrc:

    color quoted      black   yellow

Strangely the color for quotings which should be yellow
stand out as dark-orange on the console whereas it appears
fine yellow in an xterm.

Could anyone explain to me why this is and perhaps also
explain how to make the colors on the console more predictable?

Mutt is compiled against slang ver. 1.2.2
