You can define a Border in the Header and set the Background of it to your desired color:

<GroupBox >
    <GroupBox.Header>
        <Border Background="Red">
            <Label Content="Hello"></Label>
        </Border>
    </GroupBox.Header>
</GroupBox>

Take a look at this site: Control Templates, Styles, and Triggers

this is probably more than you need, but it explains how to use a control template to modify controls in various ways. I use this particular control (with different colors) for groupboxes on one of my applications, and it has come in very handy.

You could set the Header property to any UI element including a Grid or a Border for example:

<GroupBox>
    <GroupBox.Header>
        <Border Background="Green">
            <TextBlock Text="header..." />
        </Border>
    </GroupBox.Header>
    <TextBlock Text="content..."></TextBlock>
</GroupBox>
