Did you install it from source (run configure, etc.) or find an RPM
somewhere and install from that? I'll assume the former, since if the
latter you should read the RPM docs for info on the uninstall, etc.

There's a GNU standard "make uninstall" rule that fvwm supports but,
I'll be honest, I doubt anyone has ever run it before. It'll probably
work OK. Note it won't delete any of the new directories created, I
don't think (/usr/local/lib/fvwm/2.1.5 for example).
Alternatively you should be able to just:
# rm -f /usr/local/bin/fvwm2
# rm -f /usr/local/bin/xpmroot
# rm -rf /usr/local/lib/fvwm
# rm -f /usr/local/man/man1/fvwm2.1
# rm -f /usr/local/man/man1/xpmroot.1
# rm -f /usr/local/man/man1/Fvwm*.1
I think that gets it all.

The fvwm2 man page contains extensive documentation on all the
configuration file commands.
sh> 3. Also, is there a program that codes the colours from say, grey

Not with fvwm. Some of the color chooser apps might do this. Note I
think fvwm understands many different color code styles.
