The default background color of Motif 1.2 was some kind of blue,
in Motif 2.0 that changed to grey.

LessTif can behave like Motif 1.2 or like 2.*; the colouring is
only part of the difference.

My advice has been for years to use the Motif 2.* version of LessTif
(it's a compile time option), but not everyone seems to like that.

>From what I see on the Debian website, it might only carry LessTif
in its Motif 1.2 work-alike. Either recompile LessTif from source or
find a 2.0 version (e.g. as RPM's on the LessTif website).

Other than that, you can try to alter the behaviour by simple settings
such as
        *background:    grey
in your per-user defaults file (~/.Xdefaults or so).
