Color theme generates different values than other Office applications

I have created a custom Report Theme with hex codes in a JSON file, the 8 data colors show accurately but the other 5 palette values (3 tints + 2 shades per hex provided) are different from the values in other Microsoft Office applications (PPT, Word, etc). Is this a bug or deliberate? Seems like we'd all want the two to be consistent so PBI reports could match other corporate themed materials... I was also hoping to use PPT regularly for quick mockups of graphs before building them out in PBI...

 

Tints start a step darker in PBI compared to Office

Shades are not as vibrant, very muted in PBI compared to Office

This seems like standardization is missing between Power BI and Microsoft Office products. It would be great if they were standardized to more seemlessly integrate across all Microsoft products.
