Not sure about the full colors. The default is usually fine with me. To  
kill a server, issue this command:

vncserver -kill :<display number>

If you want to kill display 1, it would be vncserver -kill :1. You may 
find it helpful that the state is retained (I usually do). You can also 
run the vncserver through xinetd.d, you can look through man pages for 
that. I've always heard of ways to run XDMCP through VNC, in which the 
state won't be retained and you could serve multiple users with just one 
display and password.
