The vncviewer has a -depth option to specify color depth. It looks like the vncserver to which you are connecting is not running at a depth of 24. You can try using the -depth 16 option while running your X at 24 bits color. If that does not work you can use pseudo color ( I think -depth 8 -cc 3 ) but the quality will suffer.
