Three element color vector, specified as a [R G B]
color vector or a string specifying the color name. The default color
differs depending on the background color of the figure window.
RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes are useful for specifying custom colors.
An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the
intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities
must be in the range [0,1]; for example,[0.4 0.6
0.7].
A hexadecimal color code is a character vector or a string scalar that starts
with a hash symbol (#) followed by three or six hexadecimal
digits, which can range from 0 to F. The
values are not case sensitive. Thus, the color codes
'#FF8800', '#ff8800',
'#F80', and '#f80' are
equivalent.
Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.
