Greyscale suspended tab icon/title is bad for accessibility

Graying out suspended tabs was explicitly asked here few months ago and we delivered

Vlad Hahaha so many users so many preferences. I can't see the use of it with the speed of Orion. Is it possible to add a toggle in settings?

This doesnt always happen, and some websites may require a few seconds to load, so this is why the grey indicator is there - to tell users that the site is suspended and may take few seconds to load after clicking it

eirk Must be my speedy computer and connection ;-).
The greyed-out icons make Orion look like an old machine to be honest. It doesn't fit.
I've been thinking about another visual solutions but I'm afraid greyed-out looks most suspended.
I could do without so I hope a toggle will come.

Vlad Is it possible to implement a setting where a user can choose to also have suspened (pinned) tabs in full colour. I find it hard to differentiate the small favicons when they're so dimmed. I can understand that people asked for this but accessibility-wise it's not a great choice. I hope this can be considered even if only through a 'defaults write' command line command. Thanks.

I prefer version 1 in @bg-d mockup. The solution from Chromium as @MrFrank posted also suits me well. As long as the favicons become clearly distinguishable again. Color makes up for a large of being easily recognisable.

Dang, looks like I missed the conversation on this one :/ (new Orion user)

I know you're unlikely to change this soon as it was just modified, but I personally much prefer the second option provided by bg-d, as it fits better with Apple's design guidelines which place a focus on simplicity, in my opinion. Since this didn't get a large number of votes, I'm curious as to how the average user feels about this change.
