[GRASSLIST:5134] r.reclass question

I have a raster map that I want to color. I want to color most of the
map with "no color", e.g. black and other I want to reclass and scale up
from light to dark. What I have, though, is a point inside a raster
region. I do not know how to tell r.reclass to color regions based upon
point data.

For example, my raster region might be:

   0,4-------- 2,4 -------- 4,4 -------- 6,4
    | | | |
    | | | |
   0,2-------- 2,2 -------- 4,2 -------- 6,2
    | | | |
    | | | |
   0,0 ------- 2,0 -------- 4,0 -------- 6,0

I know that I want 1,1 to be red and 3,5 to be orange but I don't know
how to do this with r.reclass (or with any tool for that matter).

Any tips?
