I am able to create a 3D cone in MATLAB, but: does anyone know how to paint the cone so that it recreates the HSV color space? I know there is the command:
colormap hsv;
but how do I use it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you want to create a plot similar to the cone in the following Wikipedia image:
One way to do this is to plot your cone and texture map the surface with an image of the HSV color space. Here's how you could do this:
% First, create a 100-by-100 image to texture the cone with:
H = repmat(linspace(0, 1, 100), 100, 1); % 100-by-100 hues
S = repmat([linspace(0, 1, 50) ... % 100-by-100 saturations
linspace(1, 0, 50)].', 1, 100); %'
V = repmat([ones(1, 50) ... % 100-by-100 values
linspace(1, 0, 50)].', 1, 100); %'
hsvImage = cat(3, H, S, V); % Create an HSV image
C = hsv2rgb(hsvImage); % Convert it to an RGB image
% Next, create the conical surface coordinates:
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100); % Angular points
X = [zeros(1, 100); ... % X coordinates
cos(theta); ...
zeros(1, 100)];
Y = [zeros(1, 100); ... % Y coordinates
sin(theta); ...
zeros(1, 100)];
Z = [2.*ones(2, 100); ... % Z coordinates
zeros(1, 100)];
% Finally, plot the texture-mapped surface:
surf(X, Y, Z, C, 'FaceColor', 'texturemap', 'EdgeColor', 'none');
axis equal
And you should get the following figure:
