I think the OP wants to modify the JScrollBar, rather than JTextPane, 
but no colors will be found in either component's source code. The UI 
delegate initializes default values by asking the UIManager.

This works for JSpinner, as it's a composite that includes other 
components. Of course, the delegate may use platform-specific 
variations, so the practice is fragile.
