We are not understanding what you want to do.

If you just want to change the way the candles are colored, then refer to the Graphics Settings starting at the following:
Graphics Settings: Bar High-Low Down

If you want to change the color based on some condition - then what is the condition?

I need to create an alert when the candle closed green and vice versa when the candle closed red.

Thanks in advance

How the coloring is determined is dependent on your setting for Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other >> Up/Down Coloring for OHLC Bars Based on Previous and Current Close. Refer to the information here:
Graphics Settings: Up/Down Coloring for OHLC Bars Based on Previous and Current Close (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other)

You would then write your alert using the same mechanism that determines the bar coloring (i.e. Current Close versus Previous Close, or Close versus Open).
