aaaach what issue you have got with that, there are three levels(as your questions here), Netbeans GUI Framework, Swing GUI and Nimbus Look and Feel, for better help sooner post an [SSCCE](http://sscce.org/), not your down_voter, but terrible question, sorry :-) — mKorbel, Aug 24 '12 at 07:21
Well to answer this question, my implicit assumption was based on the progressbar color being `orange` and `NetBeans`. For the remaining part, it was just a guess!! +1 with posting an SSCCE of your problem — Sujay, Aug 24 '12 at 07:27

I'm assuming that while you're implementing your code in NetBeans you're using the Nimbus look-and-feel.

It would better serve you to go through these links to understand how you can customize the defaults for this LnF

The following couple of SO articles might also come in handy for you:

Here's a good test to see what JProgressBar colors are:

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("ProgressBar test");
    frame.setSize(300, 300);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    frame.add(panel);

    JProgressBar pb = new JProgressBar(50, 100);
    pb.setMinimum(0);
    pb.setMaximum(100);
    pb.setValue(75);
    pb.setForeground(Color.orange);
    pb.setBackground(Color.green);
    panel.add(pb);

    frame.setVisible(true);

You will see from that that setForeground will set the color of the current progress, and setBackground the color of the remaining

@user1608338 Umm, come again? What do you mean? – Alex Coleman Aug 24 '12 at 07:08 — Alex Coleman, Aug 24 '12 at 07:08
