You gotta remember two things: first, Grass compresses raster maps. If 
you r.out.ascii them, be sure they're uncompressed. Second, all new 
raster maps get default color tables assigned by Grass. If you don't like 
the colors or want to reassign the colors from some other raster map, use 
r.colors or d.colors to change all or individual colors, or copy an 
existent color file (colr directory) to create a color table for your 
re-imported map.
