The reverse of what? Isn't that exactly what you described above?

No. Colour sets are not fully supported in window decorations.
Only the plain colours are used in the window border. This is
going to change some day.

In 2.5.8, styles can be tied to individual windows too. I don't
know the name of the command that does this from the top of my
head. You will probably need FvwmEvent too, or maybe a function
like this:
AddToFunc start_borderless
+ I exec exec $1
+ I wait $0
+ I next ($0) thiswindow <style_by_id_command> $w <styles>
