You may also want to look at ColorBrewer: http://colorbrewer2.org/
It is very useful in helping you decide on color themes for maps. It will also provide you with the color codes (RGB or Hex) that you can use directly in MapServer.

Hi Paul, There has been a lot written on this subject and there is probably not simple answer because to a large extent it depends on what you are trying to show with you map. A lot of people like the Google maps or Virtual Earth maps as color schemes. You might also find the following interesting reading: http://www.google.com/#q=cartographic+color+standards+for+maps There are some very good books on the subject that discuss this in detail you can enter "gis cartography" into amazon book search to a good sample of them.
