David-- I am on OS X Mountain Lion, as originally noted.
It is implied, but I have been using colored account tabs for several years myself; apparently, this feature has disappeared in the development release of 2.5.2. Since this development release has only been out for a couple of days, I doubt you're talking about seeing this feature in this version for a couple of years. Are you able to see colored tabs in 2.5.2? David (T.)
