With today's nightly we have more photony tabs.  Thats great and all, but its a bit confusing with the current nightly container UX.  Containers use an accent color on top of the tab.  The new photon UX seems to place a different accent color on the currently selected tab.

For example, see the attached screenshot.  The selected tab is in my "mozilla" container which I have assigned a red accent.  The selected tab, however, shows a blue accent instead.

I thought this was on file already and Jonathan had a plan. Jonathan?

BTW, on mac I can see a sliver of container accent above the photon "selected blue" accent.  On windows I don't see this sliver.

This is a duplicate of Bug 1387117 which should hopefully land soon. Test Pilot containers fixes this for me however it was reported people were still having issues on Mac, which I haven't had time to test.

Also I agree this adds confusion to containers even when moving the line underneath. However until we have more design time I think this is what we have. Hopefully with the likes of Bug 1354602 more users will be exposed to containers and it will become an issue worth solving with more design time.
