Answer 1

To change the background color of the scroll bar, you can do this:

scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setBackground(Color.BLACK);
scrollPane.getHorizontalScrollBar().setBackground(Color.BLACK);

To change the color of the scrollbar itself, use the following code:

import javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicScrollBarUI;

scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setUI(new BasicScrollBarUI() {
    @Override
    protected void configureScrollBarColors() {
        this.thumbColor = Color.BLACK;
    }
});
