I love the ability to change the text and color of tab headers :-) I have set up a keyboard shortcut to
allow quick access to the TabColorPicker....

"command": 
{
"action": "openTabColorPicker"
},
"keys": "ctrl+shift+c"

However, I've noticed that when invoked this way, the picker assumes the current tab is unfocussed and choose the "grayed" version of the color until the focus is manually changed or the mouse is moved over the header.

I'm gonna label this as another variant of #8948. Whatever we're doing to set the tab color, MUX isn't very happy about.

/dup #8948

Nice spot - agree this looks like a dup. 👍
