This means that some program that uses a lot of color (Netscape et. al.)
is using up all the colors of your display.  Either:

1.  Exit color-hogging programs.
2.  Increase the number of colors your display can show, at the possible
expense of reduced desktop 

#2 requires some knowledge of your video hardware and of /etc/XF86Config.
