You can change an image of indicator, but you should do this repeadeatly

func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
    self.chageScrollIndicator()
}

func chageScrollIndicator (){
    if let indicator = self.collection.subviews.last as? UIImageView {
        let edge = UIEdgeInsets(top: 1.25,
                                left: 0,
                                bottom: 1.25,
                                right: 0)
        indicator.image = UIImage(named: "ScrollIndicator")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate).resizableImage(withCapInsets: edge)
        indicator.tintColor = UIConfiguration.textColor
    }
}

You can use this 2 image as template:

Both UIScrollView indicator are sub view of UIScrollView. So, we can access subview of UIScrollView and change the property of subview.

1 .Add UIScrollViewDelegate

@interface ViewController : UIViewController<UIScrollViewDelegate>
@end

2. Add scrollViewDidScroll in implementation section

-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView1
{
    //get refrence of vertical indicator
    UIImageView *verticalIndicator = ((UIImageView *)[scrollView.subviews objectAtIndex:(scrollView.subviews.count-1)]);
    //set color to vertical indicator
    [verticalIndicator setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];


    //get refrence of horizontal indicator
    UIImageView *horizontalIndicator = ((UIImageView *)[scrollView.subviews objectAtIndex:(scrollView.subviews.count-2)]);
    //set color to horizontal indicator
    [horizontalIndicator setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
}

Note:- Because these indicator update every time when you scroll (means reset to default). SO, we put this code in scrollViewDidScroll delegate method.

Unfortunately you can't, of course you can always roll your own. These are your options:

UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleDefault:

The default style of scroll indicator, which is black with a white border. This style is good against any content background.

UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleBlack:

A style of indicator which is black and smaller than the default style. This style is good against a white content background.

UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite:

A style of indicator is white and smaller than the default style. This style is good against a black content background.

Try this it would certainly help you

    for ( UIView *view in scrollBar.subviews ) {

       if (view.tag == 0 && [view isKindOfClass:UIImageView.class])
       {
        UIImageView *imageView      = (UIImageView *)view;
        imageView.backgroundColor   = [UIColor yellowColor];
       }
    }

Explanation: UIScrollBar is a collection of subviews. Here scrollBar indicator(vertical/horizontal) is the one of the subviews and it's an UIImageView.So if we set custom color to the UIImageView it effects scrollBar Indicator.

please use below code on iOS Renderer

 private bool _layouted;
 public override void LayoutSubviews()
 {
       base.LayoutSubviews();
       if (!_layouted)
       {
            this.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Red.CGColor;
            var Verticalbar = (UIImageView)this.Subviews[this.Subviews.Length - 1];

            Verticalbar.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#0099ff").ToUIColor();
            var Horizontlebar = (UIImageView)this.Subviews[this.Subviews.Length - 2];

            Horizontlebar.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#0099ff").ToUIColor();
            _layouted = true;
       }
}

This is how the color of the scroll bar is changed:

    //scroll view  
    UIScrollView *scView = [[UIScrollView alloc] init];  
    scView.frame = self.view.bounds; //scroll view occupies full parent views  
    scView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(400, 800);  
    scView.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];  
    scView.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleBlack;  
    scView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;  
    scView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;  
    scView.scrollEnabled = YES;  
    [self.view addSubview: scView];
