There are (at least) two places where the default color is changed. One of 
them is SystemWindow >> #paneColor. It gets the color from the preference, 
then makes it #duller if it's not white or yellow.
The other is SystemWindow >> #setStripeColorsFrom:. It passes a #duller 
color for the gradient fill, even when the window is active.
