how can I fill in drawRect with color

Question

I have a drawRect and I want to fill in the rect specified with a certain color. How do I do so? So far I have tried the following:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
        CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
         CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [UIColor colorWithWhite:29/255.f alpha:1.0].CGColor);
CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
}

This doesn't seem to work

[[UIColor colorWithWhite:29/255.f alpha:1.0] setFill];
UIRectFill(rect);

This is the simplest way
