The rasters do have colour tables applied, that are expressed using RGB values, 
using gdaldem:
75%    107    0    0
50%    196    109    27
25%    247    195    72
0%    252    233    109
nv    0    0    0 0

They are not derived from vector data however. I am unsure of your requirement 
in terms of the source of the raster data. All of the pixel values have been 
created and either fall between the values of 1-4 or contain no data.

The commands I am running on the files are:
gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "TILED=YES" -b 1 -b 1 -b 1 fileA.asc fileB.tif
gdaldem color-relief fileB.tif rgb.txt fileC.tif -alpha
gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:27700 -t_srs EPSG:900913 -r bilinear fileC.tif fileD.tif

an example of how the bilinear is working (fileD.tif) can be seen in the 
attached file. I have tried running running the gdalwarp command above prior to 
gdaldem but this makes little difference.

TIA,
Chris
