Hugh, I experimented with JPEG when I started using the GD libraries and was not satisfied with the results. Just too many image quality issues. Unless your map is a image (vs a graphic) I wouldn't use Jpeg. The coloring you speak of may be a result of jpeg compression. Using no compression will likely remove this problem but you will pay a penalty in file size. If you have the option convert your image to PNG or GIF (depending on what gd library you have) using something like Photoshop. You'll probably like the results better.
