Dark flavors could probably work under 0.15 opacity too, but I couldn't figure out how to reduce that yellow tint that is applied to unselected editor tabs. I tried changing EditorTabs -> unselectedBlend, but it didn't really help.

Figured out that I can replace yellow tint with opacity instead via inactiveColoredFileBackground.
So, removed conditional opacity on file colors and added 50% opacity reduction on inactive colored tabs. Active ones show the same color as defined for that scope.

This improves legibility of background colors for file scopes in editor tabs and file explorer. Also adds new pre-defined "Grey" color for file scopes.
