It should be possible using lines in your .fvwm2rc file like:

Style "*host1*" Color black/grey
Style "*host2*" Color green/yellow
Style "*host3*" Color black/darkblue

The string in quotes is compared to the window's name, class and
resource string and the style is applied to all windows which match.


P.S. Don't actually use Green/Yellow, it is *really* bad for the eyes!
