Have a different color scheme for last-visited tab

Reported by itsmeka...@gmail.com, Mar 5 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 Edge/17.17604

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chrome
2. Start your reasearch/normal browsing session. After sometime you will notice lots of tabs you've opened. 
3. In these kind of scenario you will be shifting between tabs and getting confused. A better way to handle this would be to have a different color for the last visited tab

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Nothing wrong. This is a feature request

I'm sympathetic to the problem statement here.  Especially when one has several tabs with similar titles and favicons (e.g. several pages of search results), distinguishing them can be difficult.

I'm less sure that distinguishing the MRU tab is the most useful thing.  And I don't think using color to do this necessarily works well, for a variety of reasons (accessibility, theming); an indicator of some sort would be better.

Some thoughts:
* Using an extension that provides a shortcut to switch to the most recently used tab might be helpful.  Pretty sure these exist.
* Dragging tabs into separate windows to group small numbers of them by topic, and set the tab order within each window, can help keep things organized
* Multiselection in the tabstrip, with shift- and ctrl-clicking, can make the above bullet easier
