Please do not play with my use of English. By correspondence I meant
that the displayed colors should be the exact RGB values demanded by
color-theme.

The problem is not at all with X11, but it seems to be with
Aquamacs (or Emacs on Cocoa if I am right). The middle and right
windows show an X11 and a Google Chrome browser. If you take a look at
the picture and analyze it with Apple's Digital Color Meter you will
see that only X11 and the browser have the right RGB values for the
background and for the fonts. Aquamacs, on the other hand, has lighter
colors on both fonts and background.

For some reason, even though color-theme instructs emacs on OS X and
on X11 to use certain RGB colors (I verified the *.el file to ensure
they were right), only the X11 gets them right -- the OS X native
version fails. This is my concern.

For me this impairs readability of the text, because the lighter
colors of the OS X version make the contrast worse.

I hope this time it is more clear.
