Not mapserver specific, but there are several options at CPT city.

You'll need to code them into mapserver yourself. It is often easier to 
generate a georeferenced image (geotiff, PNG with world file, ...) with an 
appropriate palette with something like GMT & just use this with mapserver. 
Even have a CGI build the raster map on the fly for mapserver to access.

Subject: [mapserver-users] elevation DEM color ramp map file
To: [email protected]
Date: Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 6:17 AM

I'm just curious but does anyone know of Mapserver .map files, or color map 
text files, with classes designed for a elevation DEM?  Or possibly a list of 
color ramps that work well for DEM maps? I read that GRASS had some predefined 
templates for applying color to DEMs and wondering if Mapserver has a similar 
thing, perhaps shared on a wiki or other site.  The DEM I'm working with now 
has low relief, from -5 meters to about 150 meters, however a general method or 
set of map files that can be applied to a range of DEMs could be helpful to 
many.  Does something like this exist?  Thanks.
