R help - Jan 2005 - hist.POSIXt filled bars - axis color changes

Hi all,
 
I'm plotting a histogram of dates and would like to shade the bars, e.g.
hist(.leap.seconds,"years",col='gray',freq=T)
-but the axis color also changes, how do I prevent that?
 
thx in advance

Looks like that's not very easy with the current implementation, see the 
code in graphics:::hist.POSIXt
Either write your own function along the code mentioned above (and 
consider to contribute your improvements, or use the following (more or 
less ugly) workaround:

   hist(.leap.seconds, "years", col='gray', freq=TRUE,
axes=FALSE)
   hist(.leap.seconds, "years", freq=TRUE, add=TRUE)
