I had to change my-hilite to ./my-hilite as I ran both files from my current directory:

My terminal is the default Apple Macbook Pro OSX 10.14.3, a derivative of xterm IIRC.

I called the first file 'Colour_test.sh' and the second 'my-hilite' see attached image.
The code works perfectly.

EDIT:
It's late here.
Goodnight all...

NAME

       DXmColorMixSetNewColor - Sets the new color red, green, and blue values in the color mixing widget.

SYNOPSIS

       void DXmColorMixSetNewColor(
	       DXmColorMixWidget cmw,
	       unsigned short red,
	       unsigned short green,
	       unsigned short blue );

PARAMETERS

       The  identifier	(widget ID) of the color mixing widget.  The new color red value. The value is expressed as an X color value (0 to 65535).
       The new color green value. The value is expressed as an X color value (0 to 65535).  The new color blue value. The value is expressed as an
       X color value (0 to 65535).

       A  complete  list  of  all the X color values available to you is located on your system.  To find it, type the following command: % find /
       -name '*rgb*' -print

DESCRIPTION

       The DXmColorMixSetNewColor routine allows the application or a user-supplied color mixer subwidget to pass the current color value  to  the
       color  mixing widget.  Note that your application will perform this operation faster if you call this routine instead of the Intrinsic rou-
       tine XtSetValues.
