This answer assumes that we know the maximum value of the progress bar. I will use the following markup:
<progress max=100 value=100></progress>
Here, our performance limit has a maximum value of 100 and a value of 100, that is, it is in a completed state. From this we can use the [att = val] selector for its purpose in its completed state:
progress[value="100"] { ... }
Chris Coyier has an article on CSS tricks that explains how the progress element can be created in Chrome, Firefox, and IE10. After that, we can apply the style to the completed progress bar. First we reset the style:
progress[value="100"] { -webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none; }
Then we can specifically apply the style to ::-webkit-progress-value and ::-moz-progress-bar to customize the foreground execution plan on both Chrome and Firefox. To do this, I set the background color #f00 (red):
progress[value="100"]::-webkit-progress-value { background:#f00; } progress[value="100"]::-moz-progress-bar { background:#f00; }
Finally, we can add the IE10 style by simply adding the color property to the main selector:
progress[value="100"] { -webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none; color:#f00; }
Here is a JSFiddle demo demonstrating this with two progress bars - the first at 50% and the second at 100%. For laziness, here is the result in Chrome, Firefox, and IE10:
