Describe the bug
When setting colours for calendars, dark and light versions of 16-bit colours are identical, but the light version produces a bolded font. For example, setting a calendar's colour to brown produces the same colour as yellow, but with the font bolded. The same is true of other dark-light pairs -- dark red + light red, etc. The colours work just fine in other programs so I can only assume this is some sort of problem with khal.

To Reproduce
Ehhhh, I dunno, use khal in Kitty maybe?

Expected behavior
I would've expected yellow and brown to be different colours (the ones I have set in my Kitty conf, that is #fa9a00 and #804800 respectively)

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Here's a calendar with its colour set to brown:

And another that has it set to yellow:

OS, version, khal version and how you installed it:

Additional context
I'm using the Kitty terminal (v0.43.1)
