Description

### Problem

Gray is nice, but a little splash of colors is always better!

### Proposal

I would like for apps (and maybe titlebar/appmenu) background to be tinted with the current accent color.

### Prior Art (Optional)

Some exemple for adwaita/qt

On adwaita:
https://github.com/pakovm-git/Adwaita-Accent-Tint [video](https://private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/17749198/556149032-d747ee28-6757-4348-bf28-1a60e32ef28a.mp4)

matugen also does this by default on dms i think : https://github.com/InioX/matugen

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Begin by identifying where Granite handles app, titlebar, and appmenu backgrounds, then compare the linked Adwaita and Qt prior art and agree on the tint scope; done requires an implemented accent-color tint with its behavior verified.
