I'd like to plot a histogram of color images that look like this
when each color band overlaps it change colors according to the RGB combination of it. Like Red-Green overlapped area produces Yellow, Green-Blue produces Cyan etc.
Thank you in advance.

By setting transparency to a value less than 1, overlapping histograms will show the combined colors. However, since the histogram colors are transparent, they aren't truely red, blue, and green and therefore the color combinations won't be truely yellow and cyan.
gaus = @(x,mu,sig,amp,vo)amp*exp(-(((x-mu).^2)/(2*sig.^2)));
x = 1:100;
g1 = gaus(x,10,5,10);
g2 = gaus(x,28,5,12);
g3 = gaus(x,43,11,7);
figure()
hold on
bins = 0:100;
h(1) = histogram('BinEdges',bins,'BinCounts',g1, 'FaceColor', 'b');
h(2) = histogram('BinEdges',bins,'BinCounts',g2, 'FaceColor', 'g');
h(3) = histogram('BinEdges',bins,'BinCounts',g3, 'FaceColor', 'r');
The transparency levels can be changed using
set(h,'FaceAlpha',.4) % 0=completely transparent, 1=opaque
Of course you could compute the individual bar positions (histcounts) and which ones overlap in order to plot the overlapping and non-overlapping regions individually. Then you could set the colors of overlapping and non-overlapping regions independently.
