You can compute a color string using PostgreSQL string functions:

Subject: [mapserver-users] color attribute question

hi!

i have this scenario:
i have a column in my postgis table which contains a double representing a 
percentage.

i want to color my polygons in a gradient fashion based on that number.

the docs states three ways to specify color:
1. three [1-255] numbers
2. hex string
3. [attribute]

but the attribute must be a string by itself in the same format as options 1 or 
2.

how can i achieve something like

COLOR [percentage]*255 0 0
or
COLOR [percentage] 0 0
if percentageis already 0..255

for a red gradient for example?

thanks allot!
