Hi, Color of my step plot is now by default. Now I'd like to change the color as the grey scale I specified. I don't know why I got three black plot. Here I attach two version of codes. The first one produces a step plot with color by default. The second one, modified from the first one, is not producing the grey scale I want. Any help would be highly appreciated.
