Carla suggested a tool that may solve your problem. But I'm wondering about your not finding these colors in the MIF. Do they by any chance have names like "RGB 080,067,143"? If so, the source is probably imported PNG graphics that use indexed color. Each such graphic contains a palette of 256 colors, defined by their RGB values, as in the name example. For some reason, FM adds all these palette colors to its color definitions list. As long as you have 256-color PNGs in your docs, you won't be able to get rid of these color definitions -- you can delete them, but they'll keep coming back. The solution is to open the PNGs in a graphics program and save them as 24-bit (16 million colors) PNGs. Surprisingly, you'll find that the file sizes increase relatively little. HTH!
