Hi there,
if you've been plodding around a bit trying to figure out how to
get Grass to display raster files in subtle coloring (very important to
draw oohs and aahs and money), as I have, seek no more: I've put a suite
of scripts on the moon (in grass/incoming), called xcolors, that will
help you choose colors from a list of 280 and creates a file that you can
use as `rules' input for r.colors (read that man page!).
WARNING 1: you need to have xgen installed and to have grass running
WARNING 2: I'm afraid the scripts are a bit ugly and you will
need to do some editing before a useful colortable emerges...
unfortunately I have no more time to do this myself.
Have fun,
