What color depth are you running X at? It may be that the display
controller uses an unusual 16-bit color mapping method (most use 565 - 5
bits red, 6 bits green, 5 bits blue). If you're running at 16 bpp, try 24
instead, and see if it goes away. (That's _always_ 888, afaik.)

If you have fullscreen mode enabled in your molrc (by default it is on, so
unless you've changed that...), so on the first available VT (if, like on
the PowerMac at my work, the Xserver takes VT 7, MoL will take up VT 8).
Just press Ctrl-Command-F8 (if your setup is like what I'm using) to jump
out to it. (It'll be faster than X video output, as well.)
