Productivity Power Tools shows references in a mapped scroll bar in a fashion similar to the above example. I don't believe it provides the ability to customize the colors for those references. Hope this helps.

Productivity Power Tools 2015 will do this; with the "Match Margin" option enabled, it puts purple dots in the scroll bar for all the matches:

At first I tried the RockMargin2015 extension since other SO answers (for older IDE versions) recommended older versions of that, but I found that RockMargin substitutes the map-mode scroll bar with its own (inferior) version and changes theme colors. I didn't like how poorly it cooperated with the IDE, so I switched to the above.
