Description
It would be nice to increase the Gtk.Separator contrast in the Mint-Y dark version. In addition, I noticed that the separators' color is not parameterized.
Currently, the separators look like:
Solution
It would be possible to parametrize background-color with the $separator_color variable.
//vbox and hbox separators
separator {
background-color: $separator_color;
min-width: 1px;
min-height: 1px;
}

Research direction
Start with the separator rules in src/Mint-Y/gtk-3.0/sass/_common.scss around lines 2431-2436 and src/Mint-Y/gtk-4.0/sass/_common.scss around lines 2642-2647. Read how $separator_color is defined and used, then apply the proposed parameterization in both files. Done means Mint-Y dark separators use the parameterized color with improved contrast.
