This is because your system has already allocated enough colours to fill the colour table. You are probably running X under 256 colour mode, which means that there can only be 256 distinct colours active at any one time. If Netscape tries to run an applet which wants a colour that isn't already present in the table, and the table is full, then you get this error. If you run X at a higher colour mode (16 bpp (bits per pixel)) then this problem should vanish. Alternatively, just ignore the error, which is fairly minor, and let Netscape solve the problem, which it will do by picking the available colour which is closest to the one that was requested.
