Don't know why you do the converting thingie. Why not use XftColorAllocName?
Like this (untested, but similar works in a program I wrote):
XftColor
getcolor(const char *colstr) {
    XftColor color;

    if(!XftColorAllocName(dpy, visual, cmap, colstr, &color))
        die("error, cannot allocate color '%s'\n", colstr);

    return color;
}


Also you don't need to XSetForeground before XftDrawStringUtf8 in drawtext.
