I see that the closest color for this is named "brown2".
It's not required to always use colors with names,
but in this case "brown2" is very close.  Another close
candidates are "red2" and "firebrick2".

Then for hi-green we could use "green3".

Regarding your idea of using rainbow colors, the problem
is that on TTY there are only these colors:

red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan

hi-blue face uses cyan color, not blue, and
hi-pink face uses magenta color, not red.

Since hi-yellow uses yellow, and hi-green uses green already,
unfortunately there are no other colors available on TTY.
