you might be better off asking this on pyrevit forum

https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/ 

I beliver this can be achived by placing a "yaml" file within the panel folder

search for background in this page https://pyrevitlabs.notion.site/pyRevit-Bundles-12323e3090904d9aa7cdc3d82095d3e3#1322635d84f447019ac...

Here is an example,

in the yaml file i have:

background:
    title: '#00ffff'

and here is the result

This can be achieved by adding a background color in the bundle.yaml file for each panel in your tab. 
this is an example from mine:   (see the screenshot) 

title:

  en_us: BDJ-Dynamo

layout:

  - 1 - menu

  - 2 - BDJ2

  - 3 - Controls

  - 5 - Views

background:

  title: '#4d74b78a'

# set background for all parts

#background: '#ff0000'

# or for individual parts

#background:

  #panel: '#ff0000'

  #title: '#00ff00'

  #slideout: '#0000ff'

you can either set a color for the entire background of the panel, or you can specify which color the Title needs to be (as Ive done in my toolbar), the panel itself and the slideout (if you have one)

Hope this helps and makes sense. 

PS:  I use https//rgb.to for colors. 
Remember that adding ff in front of your HEX coloring gives you a non-transparant color, while adding 4d in front, it gives a slightly transparant color.

@Bramdejong1985 

could you explain a bit more on the FF vs 4d?

I tried using the website you mentioned but confused as to how to make the colors transparent.

for instance, red

#ff0000 would be #4d0000? but i get a dark purple brown color

is this right?

nevermind, i was able to figure out the meanings
