d.vect fcolor=grey color=none


COLOURING:

Using "none" as a color works in most of the better display functions.
ie not d.legend ;)

e.g. 'd.barscale -m bcolor=none' is nice.

you can also do color=0:128:255 in many display modules to get
many more shades of RED:GREEN:BLUE. values range from 0-255, 0:0:0 is
black and 255:255:255 is white.
