I see. Still I don't think colorsets are less suitable here than
ForeColor, BackColor and HilightFore, HilightBack.
For each color you want to use for windows (green, red) define 2 colorsets
for inactive and active window once. Then just switch window colorsets:
  # define 3 color schemes, red, green, blue
  Colorset 50 fg black, bg rgb:d0/00/00, hi rgb:ff/00/00, sh rgb:a0/00/00
  Colorset 51 fg white, bg rgb:00/60/00, hi rgb:00/30/00, sh rgb:a0/90/00
  Colorset 52 fg white, bg rgb:00/00/40, hi rgb:00/00/20, sh rgb:a0/00/80
  AddToMenu windowops
  + "Use red color scheme"   Style $n Colorset 50, HilightColorset 60
  + "Use green color scheme" Style $n Colorset 51, HilightColorset 61
  + "Use blue color scheme"  Style $n Colorset 52, HilightColorset 62
Then you may even add something like this if you really want:
  + "Make red color scheme lighter" Func1ChangingColorsets50And60
  + "Make red color scheme darker"  Func2ChangingColorsets50And60
  + "Make red color scheme more cyan" ... :-)
This changes colors of all windows that currently use red color scheme.
For versions < 2.4.8 the syntax is "*FvwmTheme: Colorset ..." of course.

Mikhael.
