Bob,

There is no code to do what you are expecting. Basically, COLOR is used for vector objects that do not have the ability to specify a color in most cases. Raster data implicitly defines a color by virtue of the pixel values. I fyou don't like the color of the raster that you have you have to reclassify it. You can do it in mapserver at a significant cost to performance or you can do it with GDAL or other tools once so mapserver does not have to fiddle with every pixel.

In theory, there is no reason that mapserver couldn't do what you want, but it has to be coded and there are a bunch of cases would have to be resolved from a use case point of view, like how to deal with other other kinds of rasters with multiple bands, etc.

Yes, I had looked at that webpage and thought I was doing it correctly.
My TIFF is a single band, 8-bit, with no colormap.  Still don’t see why
it won’t display in color.

Bob,
     I'd recommend just re-rendering the raster off-line for performance
reasons, but if data management makes that difficult have a look at the
"Classifying Rasters" section of
http://www.mapserver.org/input/raster.html#how-are-rasters-added-to-a-map-file.
And Mapserver can only classify a single 8-bit  band (grey or paletted),
even if your image is say 3 band RGB.

Best Regards,

Brent Fraser

    I have a geotiff raster which represents forested lands.  I’d like
    it to display in green.  I put in a Style section and specified a
    color, but try as I might, it always displays in grayscale.  It is
    an 8-bit unsigned TIFF file.

    Below is the layer specification:

    LAYER

       NAME "ForestLands"

       GROUP "ForestLands"

       TYPE RASTER

       STATUS on

       DATA "/mapserver_data/StreamBarriers/forestland06.tif"

       METADATA

         "wms_srs"                      "EPSG:4326 EPSG:26919 EPSG:26983
    EPSG:26984 EPSG:102113"

         "wms_name"                                "ForestLands"

         "wms_server_version" "1.1.1"

         "wms_format"              "image/png"

       END

       CLASS

         NAME "Forest"

         STYLE

             COLOR 0 250 0

         END

       END

    END
