Do you have a screen which can use 256 colours only?
Does the problem occur only when you use netscape or others apps which
use a lot of colours?
Is the result better with:
Colorset 5 bg average, fg the_color_you_want_as_fg, TiledPixmap foo.xpm, nodither
Style * MenuColorset 5
fvwm has a lot of options for screens which can display only a few
colours at once. Unfortunately, the doc and some of these options
was written after 2.5.4.
I suggest you use a recent snapshot and take a look at the doc (man
fvwm) for: -color-limit, -strict-color-limit, -allocate-pallet,
-static-pallet, -named-pallet.
