When 2 or more applications have allocated the same entry in a colormap, that entry is not freed until all applications who use it have exited.  If that cell was allocated as a ReadOnly Cell (via XAllocColor), then no application may change it.  You may change the color of any non-allocated color using XStoreColor(s).
