Josh, 

The labels of -30 to 75 on the image bar are coming from the calibration 
information
within the image itself (assuming you are using a GINI image produced by he 
nex2gini program
That I created). However, if colors are all gray, then you probably have an 
error that
the image type/band/number is not defined in the $GEMTBL/sat/imgtyp.tbl file. 
The
imgtyp entry for the N0R product defines the default color table with the 
mapping of 
pixel values.

I provide entries for a N0R composite that we distribute via the IDD, but if 
you have a N02
product- chances are a different band number is being used. 

If needed, you can post one of the images for me to look at.
