In GroupBar, you can customize the header color of the GroupBarItem by using the class named Office2003Colors.

C#

//Sets the Office2003 visual style
this.groupBar1.VisualStyle = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.VisualStyle.Office2003;
//Enables stacked mode
groupBar1.StackedMode = true;
//Customizes the Header BackColor of GroupBarItem's
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2003Colors.GroupBarHeaderColorDark = Color.Red;
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2003Colors.GroupBarHeaderColorLight = Color.White;

 

VB

'Sets the Office2003 visual style
Me.groupBar1.VisualStyle = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.VisualStyle.Office2003
'Enables stacked mode
groupBar1.StackedMode = True
'Customizes the Header BackColor of GroupBarItem's
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2003Colors.GroupBarHeaderColorDark = Color.Red
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Office2003Colors.GroupBarHeaderColorLight = Color.White
