spiderplant0, I am assuming that you have a greyscale image. Not just black(0) and white (255) areas. gdal_rasterize does not create a colour table for the generated raster. You need to add one to the newly created table.
If the RGB values are in separate attributes, you can burn each one into a separate band to create a colourful raster.
