I think I've figured this out.  There are two "gray80"s in the world.

There's the one in rgb.txt:
207 207 207		gray80

and there's the one in Xcms.txt:
gray80                  TekHVC:0.0/80.0/0.0

and the latter is slightly redder.

I have three xloads on my screen right now, one local and two remote.  The
remote ones are "whiter", the local one is "reddish" by comparison.  All
three are using gray80...but the local one is using Xcms and the remote
ones are using their copies of rgb.txt (or the X server's, I'm not sure
which).
