1. You need to use ContourPlot vice Contour

2. A function of a single variable does not generate much of a contour, but 
in any event you need to specify a range in two dimensions

3. RGBColor has arguments, i.e., RGBColor[red, green, blue]

ContourPlot[Sin[x],{x,-Pi,Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi}, 
  ColorFunction->(RGBColor[#, 0, (1-#)]&)];

ContourPlot[Sin[x*y],{x,-Pi,Pi}, {y, -Pi, Pi}, 
  ColorFunction->(RGBColor[#, 0, (1-#)]&)];
