I don't understand this at all. Something isn't working here.

Perhaps you should look in said file, now that xforms is open source?

Were you to do so, then you'd find the following hard coded nonsense:

static char *rgbfile[] =
{
    "/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt",     /* typical */
    "/usr/local/lib/X11/rgb.txt",       /* try     */
#if defined(sun) || defined(__sun__)
    "/usr/openwin/lib/rgb.txt", /* Sun     */
#endif
#ifdef __EMX__
    "/XFree86/lib/X11/rgb.txt", /* OS2     */
#endif
#ifdef __VMS
    "SYS$MANAGER:DECW$RGB.DAT", /* vax */
#endif
    0
};

So, if rgb.txt isn't where xforms expects it to be, then it isn't surprising 
that things go wrong.
