Dear Serych

It is Not necessary to use ColorFunction. You can achieve this goal with
FillingStyle->{Red,Blue}, try the following code:

Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,4 Pi},
  AxesOrigin->{0,0},
  Axes->{True,True},
  PlotStyle->Thick,
  FillingStyle->{Red,Blue},
  Filling->Axis,
  ImageSize->{380,280}]

I think, that it must be something very simple, but I cannot find the
solution....

I need to fill the Plot so, that area above the axis will be red and =
area
below the axis will be blue. I tried it in a such way:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 4 Pi} ,
 AxesOrigin -> {0, 0},
 Axes -> {True, True},
 PlotStyle -> Thick,
 ColorFunction ->
  If[Sin[x] >= 0, RGBColor[1, 0, 0], RGBColor[0, 0, 1]],
 Filling -> Axis,
 ImageSize -> {380, 280}]

But Mathematica says, that If is not a valid Color.

If I try it with Function (according to examples in ColorFunction help),

ColorFunction ->
 Function[x, If[Sin[x] >= 0, RGBColor[1, 0, 0], RGBColor[0, 0, 1]]],

it is working, but the color of Filling is red allover the range.

Thanks for any hint, how to achieve the +Red/-Blue filling.

Jakub
