I am Struggling to change the color of the status bar for each activity.

I have tried the create theme and style listed in posts on this site to no avail.

How can I make each activity have a status bar of different color?

You can change it by setting the android:statusBarColor or android:colorPrimaryDark attribute of the style you're using for your app in styles.xml.

(android:statusBarColor inherits the value of android:colorPrimaryDark by default)

For example (since we're using an AppCompat theme here, the android namespace is omitted):

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/your_custom_color</item>
</style>

On API level 21+ you can also use the Window.setStatusBarColor() method from code.
