Saving the files to MIF and deleting the RGB color definitions will help,
but the colors may very well re-appear again. You need to find the source
of all these colors. Probably, it's an imported graphic that defines a lot
of colors (I believe WMF graphics is one of the more common culprits).
When FM needs to read in such a graphic to display it, all the colors
defined in the graphics file are added to the document's color definitions.
You can probably find the troublesome graphic(s) by searching the MIF files
for the RGB color definitions, and check where they appear in addition to
the color catalog.

If someone knows a better way to permanently fix this, let us know.
