Coloring w.r.t height data is available for PointClouds using the PointCloud2 display in rviz. Either the axis or intensity transformers can do this if you select the "z" axis of the points (or whichever other field you'd like to colorize based on). Once selected, play with the settings for the displays until you get the view you want (e.g. turn on "Use full color spectrum" to interpolate in the full RGB space).

I don't believe rviz can do this for LaserScan messages, so you'd have to transform your LaserScans to PointCloud2's first (see laser_pipeline for packages that will help you do this).
