assigning colors to raster maps

Hello,
  I am having difficulties assigning colors to a raster map with
  44 different categories. I am using d.colors and changing the
  categories one by one to get the shading I want. The problem
  is that categories seem to change regardless of whether I change
  them or not. Clearly I am doing something wrong. I would
  appreciate any suggestions or others ideas.
  Thank you in advance.

1. Try commands d.colormode fixed / d.colormode float.
  There are a couple of things that you might consider!

   making color assignments.

3. Try p.colors for making color assignments based on the colors
   that your painter supports.
   
Good Luck,
