If you want to override the slider's color one at a time, i.e. to apply custom styles to each slider:

you will need to add classes to your sliders :

Then in your CSS, you can customize each of them as such:

:host ::ng-deep .average .mat-slider-thumb {
  background-color: #ff3967;
}

:host ::ng-deep .min .mat-slider-thumb {
  background-color: blue;
}

:host ::ng-deep .min .mat-slider-thumb-label {
  background-color: blue;
}

:host ::ng-deep .min .mat-slider-track-fill {
  background-color: blue;
}

:host ::ng-deep .max .mat-slider-thumb {
  background-color: orange;
}

:host ::ng-deep .max .mat-slider-thumb-label {
  background-color: orange;
}

:host ::ng-deep .max .mat-slider-track-fill {
  background-color: orange;
}

All info about :host and ::ng-deep on the offical Angular documentation for component styles
