This particular problem, which is not to be confused with similar-looking problems with .im8 images in later versions, is a known issue with Motif:

1255448: cde on Solaris x86 has yellow tinting problem with TrueColor default visual 

An X server that allows changing the class of the default visual should be able to work around this.

Xorg and Xming document an option for that:

-cc int default color visual class

However passing -cc with PseudoColor or its constant from X.h (3) has no effect on the default visual reported by xdpyinfo.

Alternately the issue can be fixed by installing a revision of the appropriate Motif patch for the Solaris release (e.g. 2.5 → 103947, 2.5.1 → 104195) that has a fix for this issue.
