I've played a little bit while searching the answer to your question and
came to the following result:
Set the following values in .Xdefaults.
$ cat .Xdefaults
Rxvt*color0: #000000
Rxvt*color1: #A80000
Rxvt*color2: #00A800
Rxvt*color3: #A8A800
Rxvt*color4: #0000A8
Rxvt*color5: #A800A8
Rxvt*color6: #00A8A8
Rxvt*color7: #A8A8A8
Rxvt*color8: #000054
Rxvt*color9: #FF0054
Rxvt*color10: #00FF54
Rxvt*color11: #FFFF54
Rxvt*color12: #0000FF
Rxvt*color13: #FF00FF
Rxvt*color14: #00FFFF
Rxvt*color15: #FFFFFF
Now we have defined 16 Colours out of 256. These 16 colours can now be
used in rxvt refering to them by name(colorX) or number.
I would gladly see how to use more than 16 colours in rxvt.
