--help
  Print usage summary
--verbose
  Verbose module output
--quiet
  Quiet module output
--ui
  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

map=name[,name,...]

raster=name
  Raster map from which to copy color table
raster_3d=name
  3D raster map from which to copy color table
rules=name
  Path to rules file
  "-" to read rules from stdin

## DESCRIPTION

r3.colors has exactly the same functionality as r.colors but for 3D raster maps. Please refer to r.colors.

## EXAMPLES

    r3.colors map=volume_1 color=gyr

## SEE ALSO

r.colors, r.colors.out, r3.colors.out, v.colors, v.colors.out
