Paul,
Your polygon data is red because you are telling MapServer to color it
red.
In the class in your layer 'map' (probably not a great layer or class
name), you are using a style to color your polygons.
CLASS
NAME 'map'
STYLE
COLOR 255 0 0
END
LABEL
TYPE bitmap
END
END
You have set the value of the color property to be 255 0 0. Colors are
set as RGB (Red Green Blue) triplets. In that line, you are saying,
'color it with the full amount of red and don't use any green or blue'.
If you change the value to 0 0 255, you will see blue polygons.
For an easy way to come up with prettier colors, take a look at
