To get any effect on GTK+ widgets used in Emacs (menu bar, toolbar, scrollbars), you should customize your GTK+ scheme. For example, the Clearlooks Phenix theme has a very high-contrast scrollbar out of the box (to the point that I find it distracting and have to customize it). It is available as an Ubuntu package: clearlooks-phenix-theme.
