Colors in TIFF files change when they are pulled into FrameMaker?

I have seen that many times here. We embed (copy) all of our images  
into our files.
When viewing an image with the color you describe, Makita Products  
are a prime example for us, we get a screaming bright bluish green  
teal color.
However, I have not had any problems when I distill my files. We  
leave the color settings to none in the color set up of the distiller.
Our images are mostly hi-res tif or eps.
