Modules usually don't react to configuration changes after they
have been started. You can still get what you want with colour
sets. Just define a colour set to be used with FvwmButtons as you
already did:
# colour set for use with FvwmButtons
*FvwmThemeColorset 6 fg red, bg green
and then use the SendToModule command to inform FvwmTheme and
thus FvwmButtons about the colour changes:
*FvwmBackerCommand (Desk <number>) SendToModule FvwmTheme Colorset 6 fg blue, bg yellow
