How to add color to plot/graph

Hi everybody! Please How can I color the background of the plot generated by the code below:

clf

x=[0:pi/6:2*pi];

deg = x.*180/pi;

y = sind(deg) -cosd(deg);

plot(deg,y, '-dc', 'lineWidth', 2);

xlabel('Angle in degrees')

ylabel('Amplitude')

title('Graph of y(x) = sind(deg) -cosd(deg)')

set(gca, 'linewidth', 2)

legend('sind(deg)-cosd(deg)')

%grid

Something like

 whitebg([r g b])

where r g b are the RGB values of the color, e.g.,

 whitebg([1 0 0])

for red. Alternatively, you could use

 set(gca,'Color',[r g b])

to only color the plot background.
