Sean,

You have to specify the style with each grid line. Also, the Help says...

"Grid lines are by default colored light blue."

I have never observered that their color is other than black, at least on
the monitor.

So you would have to do it this way:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi},
     GridLines ->
      {Table[{x, {RGBColor[0, 1, 1]}}, {x, 0, 6}],
       Table[{y, {RGBColor[0, 1, 1]}}, {y, -1, 1, 0.5}]}];

With the DrawGraphics CustomGridLines routine the default color is LightBlue
and the same plot would be specified, with Gray lines say, this way:

Needs["DrawGraphics`DrawingMaster`"]

Draw2D[
    {Draw[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}]},
    Axes -> True,
    GridLines ->
      {CustomGridLines[Identity, {0, 6, 1}, {Gray}],
       CustomGridLines[Identity, {-1, 1, 0.5}, {Gray}]}];

If the last argument is left out you get LightBlue.

i always get baffled at things like this.

from the help menu...

"Grid line styles can involve graphics directives such
as RGBColor and Thickness"

k. fine.
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, GridLines -> Automatic]
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2Pi}, GridLines -> Automatic,
  GridLinesStyle -> RGBColor[0, 1, 1]]

Apparently GridLinesStyle is not the options.

hm. how can Mathematica set the option for Grid Lines Style if
not GridLinesStyle?


any insights will be greatly appreciated.]
