MATLAB: How to change the color of the median line in boxplot

I am creating a box plot using the "boxplot" function (in the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox) as follows:
 
x = magic(3);
boxplot(x);
The plot generated looks like this with red lines in the center:
How can I change the red color of the median line to something else?

In order to change the color property of these median lines, we can use the "findobj" function to locate these lines, and then set their color to green. This can be achieved by adding the following lines of code after creating the boxplot:
 
lines = findobj(gcf, 'type', 'line', 'Tag', 'Median');
set(lines, 'Color', 'g');
This will change the color of these lines to green, as shown below:
