The __patch__.m doesn't yet support colors passed as strings like that.
Try instead

patch(rand(1,4),rand(1,4),[1,0,0])

and it will work.. The patch attached will add the missing support..

I am not in front of my PC, so I cannot check this now. But AFAIK the
assignment of string values to a color-property (like here) should work
again. Therefore, the color_values class should be used to convert a string
to a rgb value. 

if (isstr (color_var))
    ## Have color string.
    set (h, "FaceColor", color_var);

I will look at this later today.
