I think I remember something like this from a while back, and the problem
being that IRIX's Xserver automatically alocates all the colors available
for programs. I don't know why, but it does. I'm sorry I don't know of a
fix, but maybe this will help.

Does anyone know of a way to force fvwm to use colors whether they're
there or not?
