"Sienna" is an extremely ambiguous color already. Image search for "sienna color" and you'll get a huge range of browns, reds and oranges.

"Burn sienna" seems even more varied. Here's are four different color-oriented websites, with a dark earthy orange from Colorlex [1], a light salmon from Canva [2], a light brown from Benjamin Moore [3] and a dark brown from Atelieracrylic [4].

Fair enough, but the 'brown' issue is similarly confusing to the lightness reversal between 'gray' and 'darkgray'.

Agree on the brown front, it's a very odd color choice.
