How to change the colours of bars in a histogram with multiple data

I have two Data sets re_hight and re_low. I made a distribution of both sets withing the same diagram. How can i chage the default colours to red and blue?

the code for the plot is:

hist([re_low re_high],[-2:2:182]);

xlim([-2 82]);

If you take the output from hist and plot that with bar, you can do something like this:

[phH1,phH2] = hist([re_low' re_high'],[-2:2:182]);
bh = bar(phH2,phH1);
set(bh(1),'FaceColor','b')
set(bh(2),'FaceColor','r')
