I may not be understanding your request but the indicator I posted shows colors with no modification. If you do not like something about the indicator I posted you can look at the code to better understand how to get your preferred MACD indicator to show color.

Please tell us if you are not using MetaTrader4 for your charts. I'm not sure if you are looking for a different color MACD indicator or if your trying to understand the programing code to modify or build a color MACD indicator. Is the MACD in the chart below what you are talking about?

I am using MT4, I thought there was just some settings that I could change to make the colors show. I didn't know I had to use codes. I would be gratful for the codes

I like the MACD color indicator, but if you change the colors it returns to standard colors when you change timeframes.
Maybe I can change the code to the colors I like.

If you want a MACD indicator that looks like the one on the chart I posted. Download the custom indicator that I posted in post #2 and add it to your MetaTrader platform. Instructions on adding an indicator are here.
