Glynn already answered with r.what.color, here is how to automate that:

   seq 255 | r.what.color -i mapname


but I wonder, are you using the r.colors color=ndvi rules?
they look like this:

cat $GISBASE/etc/colors/ndvi
-1. white
-0.3000 blue 
-0.2000 205 193 173
 0. 150 150 150
 0.1000 120 100 51
 0.3000 120 200 100
 0.4000 28 144 3
 0.6000  6 55  0
 0.8000 10 30 25
 1.  6 27  7


just substitute your new range for the -1.0 to 1.0 steps with r.colors 
color=rules, as long as the recode was linear.


I think though that your easiest solution is to use NASA's 0-255 color rules. :)
  http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/DOCS/palette_ndvi.txt
  http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/PRODUCTS/colorbars.html

you might be able to pipe those directly into r.colors or use them with 
r.colors rules=palette_ndvi.txt.

[GRASS-user] exploding a color table

I just discovered that r.recoe only produced 3 levels -- not what I was
expecting for the rule:

-1.0:1.0:0:255

I guess I would have to use r.mapcalc?
