XServer refuses the create windows with different color depth than the parent's,
just in the special case that neither border pixmap nor border pixel is given,
even if the screen supports it. (that's also one of the reasons why Xnest fails
to run with different color depths than the default one)
it really doesn't make sense to deny this, while it's allowed when having a
border color or pixmap set.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
