Because you haven't defined a colour table for the new map.

Try "r.colors RGB_water raster=RGB".

An alternative approach would be to use masking, e.g.:

	r.mapcalc 'MASK = dem != 0'
	r.resample in=RGB out=RGB_water
	g.remove rast=MASK

r.resample automatically copies the colours from the input map.
