<style type="text/css">  
   
/* List View Header */  
.ms-listviewtable > thead > tr > th {  
 background-color: #5B9BD5;  
}  
   
/* List view Header Text color*/  
.ms-vh-div,  .ms-headerSortTitleLink {  
color:white!important; font-weight: bold;  
}   
   
/* background color for alternate rows */  
.ms-listviewtable > tbody > tr.ms-alternating {  
background: #e1eaf4}  
}  
</style> 

Once you Save the code and refresh the page, now you can see the default list view will have a custom header which was by just using the css code.
