The old fix doesn't work any more because the names of the properties
have changed.

This works for me:

notebook.terminal-notebook tab {
    background-color: #a2a1a0;
    foreground-color: #ffffff;
}

notebook.terminal-notebook tab:active {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    foreground-color: #010101;
}

I've put the file in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. You may adapt the colors
at your liking. The original definitions are in
/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/gnome-terminal.css

  [SRU] Difficult to distinguish which tab is selected

Bug description:
  [Impact]
   * When a user opens multiple tabs in GNOME terminal all tabs are styled in a 
*very* visually similar manner.  This makes it very hard to distinguish between 
the current active tab and all the others and on a HiDPI screen pretty much 
impossible.

  * This fix has been ack'd by design and was targeted for X but didn't
  get reviewed and OK'd in time.  Design team have approved this
  styling.

  * This bug is fixed by extending the CSS specifically for Terminal
  (i.e. no other applications are affected) giving the active tab a
  darker background colour (using only theme defined colours) and
  reworks the borders around the tabs to remove the graduated image
  borders that only look right on a light coloured background.  Changes
  have been made for both Ambiance and Radiance.

  [Test Case]
   * On a stock 16.04 install open GNOME Terminal (ctrl-alt-t)
   * Open five new tabs (ctrl-shift-t)
   * Click on the tab in the middle
   * Note that it is hard to see at a glance which tab is currently selected
   * Close Terminal and all open tabs.
   * Install the patched theme
   * Open Terminal and open five new tabs
   * Click on the tab in the middle and note that it takes on a light grey 
background compared to the unselected tabs which are dark grey.

  [Regression Potential]
   * The patch only addresses tabs that are placed at the top of the window. 
However this is the only option in Terminal, so should not cause any problems.
   * There is a work-around to match the "actions bar" (the bit with the 
dropdown selector and + button).  This bug is supposed to be fixed in v3.20 and 
could be removed.  This is commented in the CSS.
