r.colors.stddev uses default nv, which results in white. So as a
workaround, you can then run r.colors.out and change the line with nv to
use 0:0:0. Then run r.colors with this new rules. This is a also
scriptable. Faster solution is to hack r.colors.stddev (it's a python
script) and add line in the rules which includes the nv 0:0:0. The right
solution for this would be probably to add nv option to r.colors.stddev, it
should be fairly simple, so if you know at least little bit of python, you
can try that yourself:)
