 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  6.4.0                    
Component:  default      |     Version:  svn-develbranch6         
 Keywords:  r.colors     |

 r.watershed has some color rule creation code it in which makes the random
 rules not quite pastel in nature, but cool. it's a lot more pleasant than
 r.color's color=random method.

 see the r.watershed examples here:
   http://grass.osgeo.org/screenshots/raster.php

 it would be nice to move that rule generation code into libgis and then
 add a new "r.colors color=random_cool" or similar option.
 (and simplify r.watershed in the process)

 My preference is that the seed would not be constant by default, so if you
 don't like the result you just run r.colors again and d.redraw.



 thanks,
 Hamish
