I am having trouble with boxes in LaTeX.

I can create a framebox with specified dimensions. I can create a colorbox 
with a specified background colour.

What I want to do, but can not achieve is to have a box with a specified 
dimensions and background colour. How do I do this? Examples of each below;

\framebox(120, 20){\$\hspace{8em}}
\colorbox[gray]{0.85}{bla bla}

Cheers Ross Drummond
