Colorizing Ocean Bottom Using Bathymetry Data

I'm trying to create a graphic using a bathymetry database (NAVO DBDV5
in NETCDF).

What I'm looking to do is to plot the ocean bottom along a fixed
longitude with varying latitude or vice versa.  GrADS does this with no
problem (see attachment). However ... I need to colorized everything
below the ocean bottom in one color.

I've tried to use all of the gxout settings but no luck.

Ultimately this graphic will be composited together with sea-surface
temperature graphic and act as a land mask.

If anyone knows of another approach please let me know.

Thanks,

Joe
