'Fraid not. X11 uses short ints r,g,b in the range 0 < r,g,b < 63000ish
Xforms uses chars in the range 0 < r,g,b < 255

My plan is to store colors in the LyX kernel using my own struct and to only 
use X11 stuff in those few X11-dependent routines that willl eventually be 
separated out of the kernel and into frontends. That will help enable a 
native Windows port too.

Well, I've just added RGB sliders too. That should help.
