Hi,
Consider this example which I have modified from the persp() help file.
It uses topo.colors() to create a series of colors.
Cheers,
Jerome
x <- seq(-10, 10, length= 30)
y <- x
f <- function(x,y) { r <- sqrt(x^2+y^2); 10 * sin(r)/r }
z <- outer(x, y, f)
z[is.na(z)] <- 1
op <- par(bg = "white")
zz <- (z[-1,-1] + z[-1,-ncol(z)] + z[-nrow(z),-1] +
z[-nrow(z),-ncol(z)])/4
cols <- topo.colors(length(zz))
cols[order(zz)] <- cols
persp(x, y, z, theta = 30, phi = 30, expand = 0.5, col = cols)
