In general, it is not recommended that you define color resources with specific color values on a system-wide level. These specific color settings are loaded into the colormap, in addition to the two cells allocated by the X server for black and white and the eight cells allocated for the palette colors. If your system uses a 16-color X server and users are also defining unique color resources, the likelihood of filling the colormap is very high.
However, there are two color configuration tasks that are appropriate for a system administrator to do on a system-wide level: changing a color in an existing palette and adding new palettes to the system.
