Add the following to your .xdefaults file:

Maker*background: favorite_color

This changes the color of the Frame control panels in document windows,
dialogs, etc.  There are references for other windows in the FrameMaker
Reference manual, so you can probably change individual windows also,
if desired.

Good luck,
