How to get Frame-specified Web-safe colors to remain Web colors in distilled PDF?

["Deborah Snavely" <dsnavely@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Basic question:
If the Frame doc has defined Web colors used throughout, how do I get
Distiller to stop changing those colors in the PDF output?

Background: 
As part of a major template overhaul to coordinate with corporate
re-branding and marketing look-and-feel, I've defined our corporate Web
palette colors (web-safe, Netscape 216) in FrameMaker, and used them for
such things as headings, notes, warnings, and hyperlinks in body text. 

And then I distill the document, and Distiller converts my carefully
specified 009933 and similar colors to generic blue, generic (screaming)
RGB green, and so on. (If I wanted RGB spectrum colors, I'd have defined
them in the Frame documents...sputter, sputter.)

Specs:
Windows 2000 Professional, FrameMaker 5.5.6/Windose, Acrobat 4.0.5
Distiller, Acrobat Distiller printer driver that installed with the
(newly installed) 4.0.5 suite. (Checking properties does NOT get me a
version number for the driver.)

Solutions tried:
1 Changed Acrobat Distiller Job Options.../Color to accept colors
unchanged. Same result.

2 Playing with colors in Print Separations dialog in FrameMaker print
dialog. Disables Acrobat settings and won't distill.

3 Playing with the ICM settings in the Acrobat Distiller printer driver.
Resulting PS file will not distill.  

4 Read the Help in Acrobat Distiller on the subject of ICM and Color Job
Options. No help.

I bet one or more of you lovely folks has unscrewed this particular
new-thing-I-gotta-learn more than once. I hope!
