Hi Paul,

There has been a lot written on this subject and there is probably not simple answer because to a large extent it depends on what you are trying to show with you map.

A lot of people like the Google maps or Virtual Earth maps as color schemes. You might also find the following interesting reading:

There are some very good books on the subject that discuss this in detail you can enter "gis cartography" into amazon book search to a good sample of them.

Hope this helps,
