I would be happy with a simple one, that just mapped negative values
to water colours and positive values to land colours.
Searching with the strategy "color positive negative zero" in r-search
and limiting it to r-help replies, I get this Jim Lemon reply using
(naturally) plotrix's color.scale:

The application to your needs looks pretty immediate.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the arguments that 'color.scale' takes
(range of red, green and blue values) makes it not very useful for this
purpose.
Hi Karl,
For a start, you could try:
color.scale(oceandepths,extremes=c("lightblue","blue"))
for the water and
color.scale(vegetationcover,c(0.55,0),0.55,0)
for the land as really basic "natural" colors. There are several ways to
specify the value to color transformations, and you can even overwrite
some parts of the color matrix using logical vectors, like coloring
everything over 4000 meters white for snow.
Jim
