Sorry, I overlooked that.  The actual values in the PDF are 

 0.51 0 0.94 0

and 

 0 0 0 0.75

respectively.  The values in the XML description are in percent.
Thus, you can set \color[cmyk]{0.51,0,0.94,0} and
\color[cmyk]{0,0,0,0.75} when using LaTeX's color package or maybe
\definecolor{c7dcc35}{cmyk}{0.51,0,0.94,0} and
\definecolor{c5a5758}{cmyk}{0,0,0,0.75} in the TikZ file.

Please note that the range of values is 0 ... 1 if the color
model name is written lowercase, and 0 ... 255 else.  Larger values in
CMYK models denote darker colors, and lower values in RGB models
denote darker colors.

In the attached file I also replaced the autogenerated color names
with more meaningful names.  With \pdfcompresslevel=0 you can check
easily wherther the correct colors are used.  Look for lines like

0.51 0 0.94 0 k

at the beginning of paths in the uncompressed PDF file.
