Change the window title text color to match the theme

Question

I'm using gnome-shell. I've tried gnome-color-chooser and gnome tweak, but gnome-color-chooser does not work on GTK3 and, as far as I know, nor does it work on GTK2; the option isn't in gnome tweak. I have tried using dconf-editor, but I'm not sure what I'm doing. I've tried editing these files but I am not exactly sure what I should be changing.

/usr/share/themes/Ambiance-Blue/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
/usr/share/themes/Ambiance-Blue/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
/usr/share/themes/Ambiance-Blue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

I am trying to make my Firefox Nightly window and the other windows to have the same blue color (they are currently white) as the date/time and the weather extensions.

I am using the Ice Cream Sandwich shell theme.

You are looking at wrong place.

Window titles are not drawn by GTK, it is drawn by Metacity in Gnome Shell (by Compiz in Unity, etc...)

I haven't tried but the right file is placed under metacity folder in a theme's main folder. The name is metacity-theme.xml (or something like that)

And the code block that will be changed :

<draw_ops name="draw_title_text_normal">
    <title color="#333" x="10" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)+1"/>
    <title color="#333" x="10" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)-1"/>
    <title color="#333" x="9" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)"/>
    <title color="#333" x="11" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)"/>
    <title color="#dfdbd2" x="10" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)"/>
</draw_ops>

<draw_ops name="draw_title_text_unfocused">
    <title color="#333" x="10" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)+1"/>
    <title color="#333" x="10" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)-1"/>
    <title color="#333" x="9" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)"/>
    <title color="#333" x="11" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)"/>
    <title color="#807d78" x="10" y="(((height - title_height) / 2) `max` 0)"/>
</draw_ops>
