    Colors can be specified in hex format, e.g. "#FFFFFF". Six preset colors exist, mapped to the following numbers:

    1 red
    2 orange
    3 yellow
    4 green
    5 cyan
    6 purple

I'm sure everyone will infer the same color codes here.

Maybe the file format isn't meant to reproduce the exact same look in different software, but merely communicate user intent. Your guess is as good as mine.

I’d almost prefer string literals for color with constants like “red”, “blue”, etc. that compatible implementations could theme as they see fit (eg terminal emulators). Perhaps that’s the intent behind the numeric constants but string literals would convey that better IMO
