do multiple vector features with the same cat value have the same color?

general question: how to "lock-in" nice random colors once you find
them? e.g. populate GRASSRGB attribute column to survive d.redraw and
use with ps.map.

how about "true" color scaling min->max like d.vect.thematic does with
value-bands?
