My Mac finder color is now dark blue/purple instead of the new gray nightmode color. I'm on the latest update of Mojave.

1I have the same issue and it only arises when I use secondary desktops. When I move everything over to my primary desktop the Finder colour goes back to normal. When closing and reopening those secondary desktops the issue returns. Only restarts seem to get rid of the issue which is frustrating. It seems like a bug to me, but I am still looking for a solution to this.– PsiCommented Sep 11, 2019 at 20:56

It's probably because the Finder has some transparency to it. It'll blend in the gray color with whatever is under it, so you probably have a background (or something else) under the Finder window with that blue/purple color
macOS Big Sur (11.0) adds an option to toggle this setting in System Preferences > Allow wallpaper tinting in windows, so you can turn it off now if you want to (provided you update, of course)
Here’s the control to change the color of Finder’s tabs:

@driverpizza You can use the Graphite accent color, which will also make the window stoplight buttons gray. Commented Jan 10, 2019 at 4:35

I have the same effect with nothing behind the finder so I believe this answer is incorrect– PsiCommented Sep 11, 2019 at 20:50

Something is always behind/underneath the Finder. Whether it's a website, your desktop background, a program, etc., it's just the window/program/picture underneath. :)– DavidCommented Sep 16, 2019 at 8:47

The issue happens even without people who have transparency enabled in Finder, like myself, and other commenters here.– NathanCommented Jun 30, 2020 at 14:20
