No, FVWM does not support symbolic colors in XPM.

If it ever supports symbolic colors (fg, bg, sh, hi) in XPM, then you
will need to define them in the colorset that is used in the area where
your XPM image is drawn.

But maybe if you explain what you need exactly there is a different way
to achieve this than to use XPM symbolic colors (like used, say, in CDE).
For example, you may generate XPM dynamically (using "FvwmCPP -debug
-noread", or maybe "FvwmPerl -p" or a shell script) and use this
generated image for your needs.

Mikhael.
