By default, frames use color 10 from the Terra color palette as a background 
color, but tab panes use 11 for their active tab color. The full standard 
palette is shown here:

http://pivot.apache.org/2.0/docs/api/org/apache/pivot/wtk/skin/terra/package-summary.html

Though you can use any type of component as a tab in a tab pane, it is common 
to use a Border as the tab's root component, which, by default, uses a white 
background and draws a 1-pixel border using color 7.

If you would prefer a different color, you can easily change the background of 
your tab (or any other container) by setting the "backgroundColor" style:

<BoxPane styles="{backgroundColor:10}"> 
...
</BoxPane>

This will set the background to color 10 from the palette. You can also use 
standard hexadecimal notation to choose a custom color; e.g. #ffffff. Other 
color styles can be set similarly.
