 Replying to [ticket:1207 timmie]:

 > At the moment, the GRASS rasters sometimes get displayed in greyscale
 and others in pseudocolors.

 That's not true. QGIS supports GRASS colortables just fine.

 The problem you might be running into is that for GRASS raster maps which
 *don't have a colortable assigned*, GRASS defaults to "rainbow"
 colortable, but QGIS displays such rasters all grey or black (cause they
 lack a colortable). Probably QGIS should also default to something when
 GRASS colortable is not defined, not sure what though - a greyscale? the
 "rainbow" too?
