Fvwm calculates a hilight and a shadow colour from the background
colour of the button to create a good 3D look of the button
relief. The foreground colour is not used at all.

The 2.2.4 releaso does not support customising the button relief
colours (other than by changing the backgorund colour). The
current beta releases allow to select these colour individually by
using so called colour sets that are managed by the new module
FvwmTheme. A config for your needs would look something like
this:
#
# FvwmTheme
#
# This goes to the start of your config file before any other
# modules are started
#
# 0 = Inactive windows
# 1 = Active windows
*FvwmThemeColorset 0 fg whatever_colour, bg you_like
*FvwmThemeColorset 1 fg white, bg darkblue, hi lightblue
# run FvwmTheme before anything else is done
ModuleSynchronous Timeout 5 FvwmTheme
Style * Colorset 0
HilightColorset 1
THe current beta release is 2.3.26, but you don't want it
because it crashes. I will make the new 2.3.27 release today, so
it should be available on Thursday or Friday on our web site.
Bye
