Pradeep - from http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/101667-how-do-i-change-the-color-of-the-bar-in-a-waitbar-in-matlab-7-5-r2007b (which works on my R2014a), you can try the following:
 % create the wait bar
 h = waitbar(0,'Please wait...');
 % find the patch object
 hPatch = findobj(h,'Type','Patch');
 % change the edge and face to blue
 set(hPatch,'FaceColor',[0 0 1], 'EdgeColor',[0 0 1]);
 % run the wait bar
 steps = 1000;
 for step = 1:steps
    % computations take place here
    waitbar(step / steps)
 end
 close(h)
When you execute the above, the bar will now be blue rather than the default red. Try it and see what happens!
