Just to be sure this is indeed a colormap issue, start an X session using twm, then only launch xchat. If the colors are "OK", then it's a pretty good bet that the default colormap is max-ed out.

Also, I've attached is short Xlib program. This will report the number of private color cells remaining in the default colormap.
