There are several things you need to know -

1. The colorized scrollbars are proprietary to IE/PC. Macs, or other
browsers on PCs will not show them.

2. The scrollbars belong to the body of the page in browser quirks mode,
and to the html tag in browser standards mode. This means that if you put a
valid and complete doctype on your page, your colors may fail to work since
you may have defined them for the body tag, not the html tag.

body, html {
  scrollbar-face-color: ThreeDFace;
  scrollbar-shadow-color: ThreeDDarkShadow;
  scrollbar-highlight-color: ThreeDHighlight;
  scrollbar-3dlight-color: ThreeDLightShadow;
  scrollbar-darkshadow-color: ThreeDDarkShadow;
  scrollbar-track-color: Scrollbar;
  scrollbar-arrow-color: ButtonText;
}
3. Such colors may not propagate to other page elements like <select> form
tags, unless you also add a CSS style rule for that tag as well.

body, html, select {
  scrollbar-face-color: ThreeDFace;
  scrollbar-shadow-color: ThreeDDarkShadow;
  scrollbar-highlight-color: ThreeDHighlight;
  scrollbar-3dlight-color: ThreeDLightShadow;
  scrollbar-darkshadow-color: ThreeDDarkShadow;
  scrollbar-track-color: Scrollbar;
  scrollbar-arrow-color: ButtonText;
}NOTE: I am not sure that this is going to work for the form elements, but I
think it does.
