 This can be changed with r.colors.

 Thank you for clarification. That's exactly how I used r.out.png, to
 create something like a "georeferenced screenshot".

 Than it is clear that "Save display to file" is not a good replacement
 because it is not georeferenced and it is not a module. The georeferencing
 could be added. I think there is even a ticket for that. However, using it
 as module is not possible, although d.out.file is pretty close.
