David,

matlab does not support property/value pairs for hist. I tried this for version 
7.5

>> hist(randn(30),'FaceColor','red')
??? Error using ==> hist at 45
Input arguments must be numeric.


They propose to use the following method instead:

hist(randn(30)) 
h = findobj(gca,'Type','patch');
set(h,'FaceColor','red','EdgeColor','white')
