Right now, we apply a color filter on the top sites' background color so that they are not too bright. The background color is only visible when we display favicons in the grid item.

However, we probably want to disable the color filter for suggested sites.

Ian, do we want to keep the same behaviour for both favicons and suggested sites? The first image shows suggested sites with the same color filter as favicons. The second shows suggested sites without the color filtering.

My take on this is that we should not use color filters so that the end result is more predictable. We can always use dimmed colors explicitly if we want. Ian, thoughts?

Don't use opacity filter on suggested sites' background (r=wesj)

And only use the opacity filter when we're displaying favicons.

I agree. We want a little more control over the tile colour for suggested sites, so pulling out the colour filters for these makes sense to me.
