Yes, I should have started with this.

I have declared (SetEnv) four strings at the top of my fvwm2rc file
representing foreground, background, outline , and desktop color
definitions. I would like to use these colors in some way to color
three-color xmps without having to define the colors anywhere else in
the file.

I apologize, Mikhael, for the personal email. It was unintentional.
