Just make the facecolor and edgecolor the same

  >>> fill(x,y, edgecolor='gray', facecolor='gray)

or whatever color you want them to be.  You can also use aliases

  >>> fill(x,y, ec='gray', fc='gray)

FYI, the new set/get introspection is designed to help you find these
things, by printing property names and the values they accept

In [3]: p, = fill(x,y)

In [4]: p
Out[4]: <matplotlib.patches.Polygon instance at 0x3b5ec60>

In [5]: set(p)
    alpha: float
    antialiased or aa: [True | False]
    clip_box: a matplotlib.transform.Bbox instance
    clip_on: [True | False]
    edgecolor or ec: any matplotlib color - see help(colors)
    facecolor or fc: any matplotlib color - see help(colors)
    figure: a matplotlib.figure.Figure instance
    fill: [True | False]
    label: any string
    linewidth or lw: float
    lod: [True | False]
    transform: a matplotlib.transform transformation instance
    visible: [True | False]
    zorder: any number


Hope this helps,
