Proposed behaviour

The colors in the new tabs are hard coded netrual grey values, we will update this to use the correct new token values.

Current behaviour

Current visual

Current code example as purely a hex code:

border-color: #8b8b8bff;

Updated visual

You can see the updated visual with the design tokens applied. The background is also updated to reflect the most common background they will be used on.

Now you will see tokens applied, e.g

border-color: var(--tab-border-active-alt);
