Description

I have noticed that the new Mint-Y theme doesn't have the same colors between gtk-2 and gtk-3. Of course it is not possible to make them 1-1 exact match but the gtk-2 version is almost missing the entire change that happened to gtk-3 and 4 themes: The blue tint.

Image

In this image you can see the gtk-2 app (the one on the left) does not have the same colors as the gtk-3 app (the one on the right).

Research direction

Start by comparing the Mint-Y GTK-2 and GTK-3 theme definitions and the colors shown in the attached screenshot. Identify where the GTK-3 blue tint is represented and check the corresponding GTK-2 theme. Done means the GTK-2 app has a comparable blue tint and no longer visibly diverges from GTK-3.
