No, you want to tell it to use *less* colours. Try starting fvwm
with "--color-limit <number of colours>" to reduce the number of
colours used in pictures. You should also use private colour maps
on all applications that support it (a la "netscape -install") and
refine the colours used in your applications so that they all use
the same colours.
