Some application use wrong colors on fluxbox

Hi guys,
it is a minor issue, but I'm having some strange behavior on fluxbox.
I just set this settings in my .fluxbox/overlay file

window.borderWidth: 1
window.borderColor: gray

Many application behaves correctly (Opera, gvim), showing a gray border, but lxterminal displays a cyan border.
I tried to enlarge the border width and still the border is cyan; I tried to set it to white or orange and the border color slightly changes, but still remains cyan. The same if I specify the color using the hexadecimal code.
This issue is replicated on all the themes that are installed on my machine (which means all the themes that come preinstalled with fluxbox)
Until now I haven't find any other application who replicates exactly this problem, but I have a similar one in Conky
my .conkyrc files switches between gray and white, but the displayed colors on the screen are different gradation of cyan (again)
It is not a big issue and I don't really mind, but it is a curious behavior. Does anybody have idea of why is it happening?

My configuration:
xorg-server 1.15.0-5
fluxbox 1.3.5-2
xf86-video-intel 2.99.907-2
nvidia 331.38-1 (nvidia GT 635M)

Re: Some application use wrong colors on fluxbox

I don't use any of both, but maybe lxterminal has its own border settings?
Doesn't seem very likely after reading the rest of your post.. but still.

I don't think it is likely, it doesn't explain conky's problem neither
