Breeze Light and Breeze Dark both have Header colors in them. When a color scheme has Header colors in it, its Titlebar active/inactive colors are ignored, and the Header colors are used to create a unified look for the window's entire header area.

This is perhaps not the best design, but until it's changed, it's what we have to live with. There are three options:

1. Switch to a color scheme that does not have Header colors (e.g. the old Breeze color scheme, which is still shipped)
2. Remove the Header colors from your current color scheme
3. Create the desired appearance using the Header colors of your current color scheme, by adjusting the Normal/Inactive background colors in the Header section of the color scheme editor

If you want to use option #2, I'm afraid the procedure is rather annoying since we were have not yet made it possible via the GUI to remove header colors. Sorry about that. To do this manually, you will need to save a copy of the color scheme, open it at ~/.local/share/color-schemes/[the color scheme] and remove the "Header" sections, then switch to another color scheme in the Colors KCM and back to your now-header-less custom color scheme.
