Good Luck, Ayush.
 
In the account you want to change... Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Display > Appearance tab > Advanced bar (l-r). Next dialog box this gets:
Select Desktop in Item list. Once done, to right is color with triangle to
select others; click on triangle, then the color wanted. OK, Apply, OK.
