Visual Studio 2015

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)

Syntax

int SetColorText(
	String^ pszText,
	unsigned int crForeColor,
	unsigned int crBackColor
)

pszText: Type: System::String^
[in] The text to display in the status text area.

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsStatusbar::SetColorText(
   [in]LPCOLESTR pszText,
   [in] COLORREF crForeColor,
   [in] COLORREF crBackColor
);

The method ignores the values of crForeColor and crBackColor and always sets the foreground color to white and the background color to dark blue.
