I've sorted this with a script: http://wklej.org/id/529183/
and here's my ~/.xinitrc http://wklej.org/id/529182/

The colors are defined in config.h:

static const char colors[NUMCOLORS][ColLast][8] = {
         // border foreground background
         { "#333333", "#cccccc", "#222222" }, // 0 = normal
         { "#888888", "#ffffff", "#555555" }, // 1 = selected
         { "#333333", "#3399ff", "#222222" }, // 2 = light blue
         { "#333333", "#ff0000", "#222222" }, // 3 = red
         { "#333333", "#8afb17", "#222222" }, // 4 = green
         { "#333333", "#fdd017", "#222222" }, // 5 = yellow
         { "#333333", "#ffffff", "#222222" }, // 6 = white
         { "#333333", "#ff9900", "#222222" }, // 7 = orange
};
