say, I am plotting

x=seq(0,5,len=100)
y=-(x-5)^2

plot(x,y)

how can I put some color or verticle lines below the plotted curve?

While it's true that polygon() is the function you need, perhaps it would be
helpful to see an example of how to use polygon().

Go here: http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php

Put the mouse over the thumbnail plots to see larger pictures and look for
something useful.  You will find it here:
http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=88

The code for this graph is downloadable too.  Just click on the icon on the
left of the screen.

Best wishes!

in addition to Charles' suggestion which is more advanced, I found the link 
below very helpful.
