How to make grid lines the same colour as tick lines

See the below example plot, the tick lines are black while grid lines are grey.

plot

How can we make them the same?

Neither of these GridColor methods helped:

%set(gca, 'GridColor', [0 0 0]);
ax = gca;
ax.GridColor = [0 0 0];

To change the tick marks

See the NumericRuler properties. In short:

ax = gca;
ax.XAxis.Color = [.8,.8,.8]; % grey as RGB triplet
ax.YAxis.Color = 'blue';     % blue as option keyword

To change the grid lines

You were right with ax.GridColor, but you have a semi-transparent grid by default so need to also set ax.GridAlpha.

ax = gca;
ax.GridColor = [0 0 0]; % Black as RGB, this is [0.15 0.15 0.15] by default (dark grey)
ax.GridAlpha = 1;       % Opaque, this is 0.15 by default (85% transparent)

To make them the same

ax = gca;
% Set the grid to be opaque
ax.GridAlpha = 1;
% Set them to be the same colour
myColour = [0.4, 0.7, 1]; % Any RGB triplet etc.
ax.GridColor = myColour;
ax.XAxis.Color = myColour;
ax.YAxis.Color = myColour;
