Have you tried taking the base color of the notebook and setting it for 
your labels?  I haven't tested this, but maybe something like:

$pages = $notebook->get_n_pages();
$notebook_base = $notebook->get_style()->base;
for($i = 0; i < $pages; ++$i)
{
    $tab_label = $notebook->get_tab_label($notebook->get_nth_page($i));
    $tab_label->modify_base(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, $notebook_base);
}
