Are you referring to the linux logo colors ? If so, could you please
try the patch below, it should be a fix.

Are you testing using qemu -vga std -vnc :x ? If so, did you try changing 
the depth to 8,15,16,32 ?  I think the patch might be breaking big endian 
too.

Now, I am far from being an expert on frame buffers. It would be glad 
to have some insights on that topic. 

Thanks,

[PATCH] fb: fix logo palette entries for little endian

The offb_cmap_byteswap() routine helps byteswapping the color map
entries when required. This patch externalizes and renames the helper 
routine to adjust the pseudo palette of the logo when running on 
little endian.
