Description
It seems strange that there is no way to change this one specific color. You basically can either use FFFFFF, 232323, or 000000 by way of changing the base theme from 'vs', 'vs-dark', and 'hc-black' respectively. Is there some technical blocker to exposing this color?
We are doing a fair bit of work in the theming department and it would be nice to be able to set this.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the editorOverview background color is selected for the vs, vs-dark, and hc-black base themes, then inspect the public theming API. Done means users can set this specific color independently without changing the base theme; add or update relevant coverage if the repository provides it.
