You're forgetting the colour tables. Twice.

First, r.mapcalc needs to use the intensities for elev.shad_relf, not
its values.

Second, r.his uses the intensities for elev.shad_relf_bright50, not
its values. As you aren't setting a colour table, you get the default
rainbow colours.

Try this instead:

	r.mapcalc 'elev.shad_relf_bright50 = #elev.shad_relf * 1.5'
	r.colors elev.shad_relf_bright50 color=grey255
	d.rgb r=esr.r g=esr.g b=esr.b

It gives results similar to d.his.
