Abdulrahman Saad:

Right click on the chart >> Properties.

You can do it by using the standard procedure in Metatrader: right mouse click on the chart - Properties - Colors.

Or ... if you want to have something special so use the following: custom color schemes for MT5 - post #525 (thanks to Dmitry Fedoseev)

If you are trying to build something with an specific color, check this script: 

int OnInit()
  {
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_BACKGROUND, clrWhiteSmoke);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_FOREGROUND, clrDimGray);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_ASK, clrDarkSlateGray);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_BID, clrDarkSlateGray);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_GRID, clrWhite);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_CHART_LINE, clrGold);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_VOLUME, clrWhiteSmoke);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_CHART_UP, clrBlack);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_CHART_DOWN, clrBlack);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_CANDLE_BULL, clrBlack);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_COLOR_CANDLE_BEAR, clrWhite);
   ChartSetInteger(0, CHART_MODE, CHART_CANDLES);

   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }
