Hmmm ... if I got it right ... you connect to the server via putty. If so then you don't have to do anything on the server , because this setting (change color in "window - colors in putty" ) will not effect your aix terminal (you do not have to do anything on the server). I use this putty to connect to the aix servers every day ... and I don't remember changing or configuring any display settings on the server.
Did you try to change like Default Foreground in putty? Did it change color?

xsetroot
XSETROOT(1) General Commands Manual XSETROOT(1)
NAME
xsetroot - root window parameter setting utility for X
SYNOPSIS
xsetroot [-help] [-def] [-display display] [-cursor cursorfile maskfile] [-cursor_name cursorname] [-bitmap filename] [-mod x y] [-gray]
[-grey] [-fg color] [-bg color] [-rv] [-solid color] [-name string]
DESCRIPTION
The setroot program allows you to tailor the appearance of the background ("root") window on a workstation display running X. Normally,
you experiment with xsetroot until you find a personalized look that you like, then put the xsetroot command that produces it into your X
startup file. If no options are specified, or if -def is specified, the window is reset to its default state. The -def option can be
specified along with other options and only the non-specified characteristics will be reset to the default state.
Only one of the background color/tiling changing options (-solid, -gray, -grey, -bitmap, and -mod) may be specified at a time.
OPTIONS
The various options are as follows:
-help Print a usage message and exit.
-def Reset unspecified attributes to the default values. (Restores the background to the familiar gray mesh and the cursor to the hollow
x shape.)
-cursor cursorfile maskfile
This lets you change the pointer cursor to whatever you want when the pointer cursor is outside of any window. Cursor and mask
files are bitmaps (little pictures), and can be made with the bitmap(1) program. You probably want the mask file to be all black
until you get used to the way masks work.
-cursor_name cursorname
This lets you change the pointer cursor to one of the standard cursors from the cursor font. Refer to appendix B of the X protocol
for the names (except that the XC_ prefix is elided for this option).
-bitmap filename
Use the bitmap specified in the file to set the window pattern. You can make your own bitmap files (little pictures) using the bit-
map(1) program. The entire background will be made up of repeated "tiles" of the bitmap.
-mod x y
This is used if you want a plaid-like grid pattern on your screen. x and y are integers ranging from 1 to 16. Try the different
combinations. Zero and negative numbers are taken as 1.
-gray Make the entire background gray. (Easier on the eyes.)
-grey Make the entire background grey.
-fg color
Use ``color'' as the foreground color. Foreground and background colors are meaningful only in combination with -cursor, -bitmap,
or -mod.
-bg color
Use ``color'' as the background color.
-rv This exchanges the foreground and background colors. Normally the foreground color is black and the background color is white.
-solid color
This sets the background of the root window to the specified color. This option is only useful on color servers.
-name string
Set the name of the root window to ``string''. There is no default value. Usually a name is assigned to a window so that the win-
dow manager can use a text representation when the window is iconified. This option is unused since you can't iconify the back-
ground.
-display display
Specifies the server to connect to; see X(7x).
