 Yes, this is actually on my list already. PDAL colorization could do a
 GeoTIFF while GRASS raster map would have to be done using native
 colorization implemented in GRASS. I think that this is exactly where
 [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2015-September/076552.html
 using layers and categories for something else than ID and class] will be
 necessary.
