  I'm ok with the highlight of the active filters.
Active states are marked
 with highlightColor. Even tags in the Tag Cloud, when active, are
 highlighted with that color, also the table headers when they have an
 active
 sorting.
 What I don't understand is why you think you need to add another color to
 the Color Theme class. If you think the color is too light then the client
 should modify the color in his Color Theme to add more contrast with his
 theme. 
Well, my feeling is probably due to the proximity of the sorting highlight
and not only the color used.
We have used light red for a similar option on client site, see
http://observatoirebbc.org/site/ObservatoireBBC/MoteurRecherche for a
sample. I do not say this is a sample to follow blindly, but you will see
that this more highlighted :) (design there is not my choice !)
  There is a process to enhance the actual Color Theme
variables. There is a
 page on incubator
 
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/ColorThemesExtensi…
 where is a proposal for a new Light Background Color and also a study of
 the
 colors we would need for the Error/Notifications Messages. 
Ok, I have quick look to that, but it definetly require more attention.
It would be nice to have a page on 
XWiki.org describing the rationale behind
current choices, so we keep on track when evolution requires changes.
