I don't know how modern Gnome or KDE handle these. Time ago these were pretty flexible to configure.

This should be at least relatively within the same thought process with respect to [programming]. When I change colors, they affect basically "families" of features. I'd start with figuring out where the volume bar falls then see if maybe it needs a declaration that is not currently available in its package. I'd say more than a few users who change their themes would find that to be a nice addition/improvement to that package. Of note: Being the package that other packages build upon, maybe there's not room to add that declaration within the package because of conflicts that might then occur. In that case, maybe it's something that could become of those ~2 or 3kb optional external packages that I've seen apt-get update on occasion. Just thinking out loud...

We do not understand why you want to change the color. AFAIK the color is part of the theme you are using. as others mentioned you have to run the audio through some other kind of utility (eg. a kind of audio player) where you can use equalizing features to display the sound level. The difference to windows is that in Linux you have the flexibility to choose what you want to run on the system. the pavucontrol is meant to manage audio not to give you such customization options such as changing the way it looks.

Unless your needs are pretty basic you will need either PulseAudio or JACK anyway. What is the problem you are trying to solve?
