I guess my question should have been more exact:
What programmatically-discoverable conditions would you like the frame
colors to depend on?

At the moment I make the frames at startup in my .emacs.  The general
principle is that the color of the fringe should be the same as the
background color of the frame.

What are your criteria for choosing the frames' colors?  (frame name,
contents, visited files?)

It's just that I start up with several frames, some with black background
color, but I prefer that overlapping frames have different background
colors.

Is there a way to change the fringe color of a frame in GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1,
e.g. to red?

Peter Lee suggested using customization, but that changes the color of
fringes on all frames.  But I want to start up with several frames with
different background colors with matching fringes.  The following makes a
new frame with background color and background fringe color gray10:

(setq rframe (make-frame '((background-color . "gray10"))))
(set-face-background 'fringe "gray10" rframe)
