Description of the new feature/enhancement

I think it would be nice to have a setting to change the tab default background color, which is black.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Currently we have the option to set a color to a tab by right-clicking the tab itself. But it would be really satisfying to have an option in settings.json to change the default black color.

Thanks @Don-Vito! Yeah, we've got this already: you can set the tabColor for any profile! 😄
(You can also set it for the "defaults" profile which applies to everything.)
