You have already found the right function to look at.  But: at least my
version already seems to support what you want (I'm using master).  It
uses `mode-line-window-selected-p' as a test.  And this has an
observable effect here, limited though to selected tabs (in any window).
The color of the unselected tabs remains unchanged, though the color of
the selected tabs does change.  At least this is what I see with my
setup.  Did you maybe accidentally break it?  Or maybe the behavior is
new, I dunno.
