How to set axes grid color?

Hi,

i'm trying to set the grid of x and y of an Axes to gray color so then it doesnt appear in the GUI when i run the code. I know i can set the color manually when designing the GUI but my code requires me to clear the axes. when i do that, all previous setting of my axes is cleared so i need to set back the color. I could set it to white color without error but when i try to set it to gray correspond to [240,240,240] i got error. By any chance i can close the grid? as i couldnt find the setting.

cla(handles.im1,'reset')  
set(handles.im1,'YColor','white');
set(handles.im1,'XColor',[240,240,240]);

set(axes_handle,'XGrid','off')
set(axes_handle,'YGrid','off')

or all in one line

set(gca,'YGrid','off','YGrid','off')

hm i think i said the wrong thing. i wana close then x and y axis.( those numbering along the x and y axis)

The numbers must be from 0 to 1

set(gca,'XColor',[0.8,0.8,0.8]);
