MATLAB: How to change color for stacked bar chart

barcolorhatchesMATLABstacked

Hi
I am wondering how I can change the color of the bars in a stacked bar chart. The code below gives me the error message "Expected one output from a curly brace or dot indexing expression, but there were 2 results." I wanted to apply blue \ hatch on the gray column, but so far I am not even able to change the color of the bars. I am able to make all bars in blue hatch \ with white background.
I have added a png to show what I want. I changed the colors in the png after running the script with the mouse, and therefor I do not have the option to export the figure as eps (better quality) with correct colors.
ba = bar(y,'stacked', 'FaceColor','flat');
ba.CData(1,:) = [0.5 0.5 0.5]
ba.CData(2,:) = [0 0 1]
applyhatch_plusC(gcf,'\','b');

Best Answer

Try this: 
y = [50 50; 25 75; 30 70];
figure
ba = bar(y,'stacked', 'FaceColor','flat');
ba(1).CData = [0.3 0.3 0.7];
ba(2).CData = [1 1 1]*0.8;
Experiment to get the result you want.
