That's not washed out - that looks like mismatch of pixel format - either channel order or endianness. Share your full console output of command. – Gyan Jun 11 '16 at 14:53

You will have to tell `xfvb` to use a 24-bit display. Don't use xfvb, so can't help you with that. – Gyan Jun 11 '16 at 15:55
