There are several parts of the scroll bar that can be colored.  Each part can be colored differently and to distinguish when the scroll bar is being moved or not, and also for when the arrow button is depressed or not.  Here is an example in an enlarged view so you can see the individual portions.  The sample uses an assortment of colors so that they stand out a little better than the color-coordinated version above.  At the right of the enlarged view is the normal sized version.

Choose to color-coordinate, or go hog-wild like the example shown.  The colors can be any of the standard colors available to web pages.
