The default colours can now be configured by each frontend maintainer
as they see fit. I beleive on RISC OS the defaults are derived from
the wimp colours and on GTK they are the css spec defined defaults
(which are a bit ugly truth be told).

However there are user settings to override all these. you can see all
configuration values on the about:Choices page and see the pretty
version on about:config

The numbers are hexidecimal values in the format OOBBGGRR

Where O is opacity 0x00 is opaque 0xff is transparent
BB is blue
GG is green
RR is red

For reference the default values are:

sys_colour_ActiveBorder:d3d3d3
sys_colour_ActiveCaption:f1f1f1
sys_colour_AppWorkspace:f1f1f1
sys_colour_Background:6e6e6e
