Here is how I just reproduced this problem: (1.4.0rc1)

1. Started out with (Am)English as default. Use the Scribus Basic color set for simplicity. Use None for default fill color of frames.
2. Switch language to German (Trad)
Here you find that all the color names are the same, except that None has changed to Keine.
3. You can now close Scribus, open again, create new documents, alles gut.
4. Now, switch language back to English.
Now we see None back again, but we have a new color Keine, this butt-ugly brown color. Not only that, but now this new Keine color is the default for frames.
5. You can then close documents, edit the color set and delete the Keine color, but of course, if you have saved any docs with that color it will be there when you open them.

Presumably this happens in many other languages also. Happened for me when I tried with French, and interestingly created not only Aucune but also Aucun when I switched back to English. In Portuguese the brown color was Nenhum.

In summary, it's the switching back to English where things go awry.

Incidentally, this above scenario was with 1.4.0rc1 (27 February).
I could not demonstrate with 1.5.0, but having said that, 1.5.0 has a glitchiness with switching languages so that you get some partial language changing in various areas. The Preferences dialog seems to have a poor language changeover in general (mostly stayed in English when I switched to French, for example, and even on closing and reopening again, still in French, the Preferences dialog was mostly English), and then there was this lingering French in the drop-down list for languages when I switched back to English, until I quit Scribus and restarted.

à propos translation in 1.5.0: since there has never been a release for 1.5.0 there has not been any string freeze, and not email sent to the translators to complete the translation...
