plot3d is not in base R. There are several contributed packages that
have functions with that name: rgl, compositions, etc. Saying which
one you want might help.
However, in general colours in R can be specified as character strings
giving names or RGB levels, so you could probably use those. Something
like terrain.colors(n) will give you a vector of n different colors,
and its man page has lots of other colour sequences and links to other
ways of creating colours.

That depends on the package. rgl currently has no legend capability. It
can export movies, but not anything the user could control. Both of
those would be nice additions, but both are fairly hard work, so they
probably won't come very soon.
