Comment(by hamish):

 ps- since cpt-city (http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/) was
 mentioned, it is worth noting that without clear license we can't
 distribute anything from the site directly. But users can use as they see
 fit, and there is already grass6 addon in
 raster/r.colors.tools/r.cpt2grass for converting CPT color rules into
 GRASS color rules format.

 wrt to an interval editor (and I freely admit my bias in that IMHO much of
 the use of color intervals for continuous-gradient data is statistically
 unsound and scientifically counter-productive), for categorical maps
 anyway an interactive GUI tool making use of ColorBrewer's color maps
 would be a really nice thing (and it is license friendly ta boot). see
 mention of it here:
