Go to the declaration of the progress bar in your .xml file :

And paste this line of code :

android:indeterminateTint="@color/white"

The example above allows you to change the color of your progress bar to white. Now it's up to you to adapt it to the color you want.

Only for Android API >= 21

for me, these two lines had to be there for it to work and change the color:

android:indeterminateTint="@color/yourColor"
android:indeterminateTintMode="src_in"

PS: but its only available from android 21

create progress drawable file 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:id="@android:id/background">
    <shape>
        <corners android:radius="5dip" />
        <solid android:color="@color/colorWhite" />
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
    <clip>
        <shape>
            <corners android:radius="5dip" />
            <solid android:color="@color/colorPrimary" />
        </shape>
    </clip>
</item>

<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
    <clip>
        <shape>
            <corners
                android:radius="5dip" />
            <solid android:color="@color/colorPrimary" />
        </shape>
    </clip>
</item>

and set android:progressDrawable="@drawable/app_progressbar_back"

like this

<ProgressBar
                android:id="@+id/dialogProgressView"
                style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:progressDrawable="@drawable/app_progressbar_back"
                android:progress="50"
                android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_20" />

I'm using android 2.3.1 version. I create a xml file called progressbar and call it in the layout progress bar tag android:progressDrawable="@drawable/progressbar"

<item android:id="@+id/progress">
    <clip>
    <shape>
        <gradient android:startColor="@color/textColor"
            android:centerColor="@color/textColor"
            android:endColor="@color/textColor"
            android:gradientRadius="20dp"
            >
        </gradient>
    </shape>
    </clip>
</item>

The Chirag's answer is right, but not all.
I think the XML file should look like this:

<ProgressBar
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:indeterminateDrawable="@drawable/progress"/>
