Color area outside of polygon/shapefile?

Hi,
I have a shapefile of the U.S.. I am simply looking to fill the outside of this shapefile with a particular color. I'm sure there is a simple solution but cannot find..
Thank you!

Hi Ryan,
Perhaps you're looking for setm with the 'ffacecolor' option.
worldmap('world')
geoshow('landareas.shp')
setm(gca,'ffacecolor',rgb('ocean blue'))
Above I used rgb to get the rgb values of ocean blue.

Thanks for this Chad! Its a step in the right direction however I noticed that the resolution isn't very good on it. I may have to find another solution.

If you have a shapefile, you can simply determine which pixels in your lat/lon grid fall within the bounds of the shapefile's polygon using inpolygon. If your shapefile contains multiple polygons, use Kelly Kearney's inpolygons.

Hi I am wondering instead of setting the ocean color how would you do that for the land masses?
