Regarding the second changeset, bug-31800-color.changeset, I get an error when 
running the "axis" demos.

axis example 1:
 t=0:0.01:2*pi; x=sin(t);

 subplot(221);
 plot(t, x);
 title("normal plot");

 subplot(222);
 plot(t, x);
 title("square plot");
 axis("square");

 subplot(223);
 plot(t, x);
 title("equal plot");
 axis("equal");
 
 subplot(224);
 plot(t, x);
 title("normal plot again");
 axis("normal");

axis example 1: failed
get: unknown axes property tcolor
