Yes, you are right there is no way to set 16bpp mode in either sshvnc or ssvnc. I'm actually glad to hear people are using it. It is a bit of a confusing option because it only applies if the viewer-side display is 32bpp, so I hesitated to make it a well advertized option.
Maybe I will add this option to the GUI at some point. Until then I think this will work, set the VNCVIEWERCMD_OVERRIDE env. var. before starting sshvnc, e.g.:
I've looked at all the docs, but can find no way of setting the -16bpp option when running sshvnc.
The options file only has bgr233 but no bgr565
#use_bgr233=0
So now only way is to do this after the viewer is up - hit F8, then select the 16bit colors option.
[Not sure if anyone is watching this forum, but worth a try!]

Let me know if that works OK for you.
I uploaded new SSVNC 1.0.24 tarballs to my site. I added a catch-all setting named 'Extra Options' under Options -> Advanced -> Unix ssvncviewer
You would just put -16bpp in the entry box. The value will be saved in profiles, etc.
If you try it let me know how it goes.
