I had some X resources (could be there are more for GNU Emacs):

        Emacs*verticalScrollBar.background: green

It seems to apply for GNU Emacs 22.x – fore- *and* background...

For the standard GTK variant of GNU Emacs 23 I have;

        style "scroll"
        {
          fg[NORMAL] = "tan3"                   # The arrow color.
	  bg[NORMAL] = "light goldenrod"        # The thumb and background  
around the arrow.
          bg[ACTIVE] = "pale violet red"        # The trough color.
	  bg[PRELIGHT] = "lavender"             # The thumb color when the  
mouse is over it.
        }
        widget "*verticalScrollBar*" style "scroll"

It's just a hack. I'd have to study GTK a bit more – maybe next live,  
then when, hopefully, GTK has become something useful, something as  
elaborate as OpenWindows/OpenLook.

For the (for me) more useful Xaw3d variant I have this customisation:

	'(scroll-bar ((t (:background "light sky blue" :foreground  
"RosyBrown4"))))

– which does not seem to work completely, because foreground and  
background are the same in my picture. I should start to read the info  
file again...
