Color issues might have to do with the rgb file not being found (or
being incomplete). IIRC we have fixed something in the coming 3.6.x
release in this regard. Please test if the problem persists with
current nx beta,
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:nx-libs-betatesting.

You could also check if one of these rgb files exist (add .txt
extension). They are searched in this order:

static char* nxAltRgbPaths[] = {"/etc/x2go/rgb", \
                                "/usr/share/x2go/rgb", \
                                "/usr/local/share/x2go/rgb", \
                                "/etc/nxagent/rgb", \
                                "/usr/share/nx/rgb", \
                                "/usr/local/share/nx/rgb", \
                                "/usr/NX/share/rgb", \
                                "/usr/share/X11/rgb", \
                                "/etc/X11/rgb"};


So if you find one compare it to the one you real X server is using
(should be visible in /var/log/Xorg.0.log).

Or maybe, instead of checking all this: simply copy the rgb.txt from
your X server to /etc/x2go/rgb.txt and retry.
