Did this, it works now.  On my LAN there's no perceptible delay or anything, so it can stay like this.

Funnily enough, with hextile disabled, RealVNC 6.19 works better than 6.17.  Pale colors disappear in 6.17.  Maybe they broke hextile when they fixed that bug, or something.

It's no wonder Unix VNC servers and clients have so many options.
