1. Through code behind( C# )

XML

<style type="text/css">
      .button_color
      {
          background-color:Green;
      }
  </style>

XML

<div class="">
       <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
           onclick="Button2_Click" />
       <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
           onclick="Button3_Click" />
       <asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
           onclick="Button4_Click" />
       <asp:Button ID="Button5" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
           onclick="Button5_Click" />
   </div>

code behind ( c# )

C#

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button2.Style.Add("background-color", "red");
        Button3.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button4.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button5.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
    }
    protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button3.Style.Add("background-color", "red");
        Button2.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button4.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button5.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
    }
    protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button4.Style.Add("background-color", "red");
        Button2.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button3.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button5.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
    }
    protected void Button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button5.Style.Add("background-color", "red");
        Button2.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button3.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
        Button4.Style.Add("background-color", "Green");
    }

2. Clent side(using Jquery )

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">

   $(document).ready(function()
   {
       $(".button_color").css("background-color","green");
       $(".button_color").click(function(e)
       {

           $(".button_color").css("background-color","green");
           $(this).css("background-color","red");
           e.preventDefault();
       });
   });
   </script>

XML

<div class="">
        <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
            onclick="Button2_Click" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
            onclick="Button3_Click" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
            onclick="Button4_Click" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button5" runat="server" class="button_color" Text="Button"
            onclick="Button5_Click" />
    </div>

In the 2nd method e.preventDefault(); used to avoid postback...
