There's no problem, because you can use symbolic names in XPM files.
Why not use the symbolic names "foreground" and "background" (or
"face_foreground" and "face_background") in every image?  You can then
bind a value to the symbolic name at load time, by putting the desired
values in the XpmColorSymbol structure.
