Scrollbar colors of fields

How can I set the scrollbar colors of a *field*? Thumb and arrow buttons show the background color of the card, how can I change them to be independent of the card colors? Then there is the "background" of the field scrollbar area, i.e. the gray area between arrow buttons and thumb, that
