How do you mean they're not correct? Why do they need to be swapped?

When the colors are considered to be 12 the darkest color, the value 7,8 are darken den 9,10 - if it is on purpose, please close the issue

There is no intentional lightness progression from steps 0 to 12. Each step is designed for a specific use case, and it just works out that there's a progression in lightness.

Those 5 bright colors are designed for black foreground text at steps 9 and 10, but the surrounding steps are still designed for borders and text. So it works out that the surrounding steps are lighter, but that's ok.
