Can I change the color of the notification bar?

Question

iPhone gives the app the ability to change the color of the notification bar so that you can match its app design without hiding it completely.

Is there a way to change the color of the notification bar in Android?

I'm looking for it to make black with white text be less visually present when using the application, but still there.

I do not want to hide it.

No, there is no way to change the appearance of the notification panel from your application. Your only option is to make your application fullscreen, but there are several reasons not to.
