I strain to read the tabs in the source code editor of Visual Studio 2012. I don't even understand what the different colors mean? They seem totally random. Black on brown or black on blue.... who choose that?
So I would like to turn off the colouring for the tabs and revert to black on white, or a light grey.
I've looked in:
Options>> Environment (General / Font and Colors)
but I cant see anything relevant. So how can I do this please?

To turn on color tabs, navigate to Tools > Options > Tabs & Windows, and select Colorize tabs. There is the option to colorize by project, and the option to colorize by filetype extension is coming soon.
Open menu File → Preferences → Settings. Choose User Settings to apply everywhere (or Workspace Settings to turn off tabs on just this workspace). Choose Workbench → Editor Management on the left, and then scroll down to Show Tabs and uncheck.
Looks like you might have Productivity Power Tools installed? If so turn off Custom Document Well or look in the Options > Productivity Power Tools > Custom Document Well > Advanced, there is an option to set colour to Visual Studio.

Or you could set: (In VS2015)
Options > Productivity Power Tools > Custom Document Well > Advanced
Then under Colors and Gradients panel, in the Selected Tab drop down choose VS Colors ,
This allows you to keep colored tabs by project yet highlights the selected tab clearly, win win...
My selected Tab is now bright Blue all the time.
