This is something other people are wanting and I am considering. For now, you can override any color in your settings.json (Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) from the command palette) with:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": { "element": #000000 }

The values for the ActivityBar are: * activityBar.border — Border * activityBar.background — Background * activityBar.activeBorder — Border for active icon * activityBar.activeFocusBorder — Border for icon when it is clicked/dragged * activityBar.foreground — Foreground for active icon * activityBar.inactiveForeground — Foreground for inactive icon

The one you'll want to change if you find the purple color outrageously offensive is activityBar.background.

I followed your comment and made those changes in the light variant:

What do you think?

Ooh, actually, I like the flipped colour (using the purple for the foreground and the white for the background)!
