If you are using the default colors, and the issue is that you are not able to see the Value Area as a different color, then this is due to the particular colors that are used by default.

In particular, when the profile bars are very close together, then you typically do not see the actual bar coloring, but are seeing the outline color. By default, the outline color of the bars, and the outline color of the Value Area are the same, so you just see the gray. See our attached image named "Before.png".

If you change the color of the outline for the "regular" bars (i.e. the "Volume Bar Outline and Fill Colors" (SG8)) to be something different, then those bars will become obvious. See the attached image named "After.png".

If not the above, then we need more information on what exactly you are referring to.
