Regarding using more than the 16 base colors: About the only solution is to make sure each monitor running the forms is set to 64K colors (is that what "High Color" means?) I posted something about this months ago, but nobody else seems to know anything about a fix.
Maybe you could set your display-only items to a different foreground color, like dark blue or white.
