Quite for a long time there is a support for named theme colors in gtk. They was supposed to define color scheme for such a cases so there must be "normal priority" color, "high priority" color and so on, but, unfortunately with the recent development of themes recoloring this effort gone to zero. Now you have to go through three subdialogs to reach the settings of the theme and set the same four base colors. Developers can still use some functions like: color_shade (selected_bg_color) So it's more a problem for application developers and pimlico developers in particular to choose colors properly.
