With Mathematica 7.0... First, you don't need to load any package at
all. Next, something like
Histogram[RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 100]]
will still give you the default uniform blue. But the option ChartStyle
allows you to change this. E.g.,
Histogram[RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 100],
ChartStyle -> Red]
changes that blue to red. The option ChartElementFunction allows
different effects to be applied to the bars, e.g.:
Histogram[RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 100],
ChartStyle -> Red, ChartElementFunction -> "GlassRectangle"]
See the on-line documentation.
