[Mapserver-users] why does my raster layer turn my shapefile layer gray?

[Chris Black]

Hello all,

I have a map with two layers: one is an ArcView grid file that is a 
relief map of the SF Bay Area in various shades of gray.  The other is a 
shapefile that show the bay waters in two classes, shallow and deep.  If 
I display just the shapefile layer ("Baylands" in the mapfile below), 
these two classes are two different shades of blue.  If I display the 
raster layer ("bayraster") as well, the classes are changed to shades of 
gray.  Why does it happen, and how can I get my colors back?

Much thanks for any help.

I don't understand grid files very well, so here's the listing of the 
grid directory and its children in case something is wrong there (though 
I don't think so, since the grid itself displays ok):
