The "selected" parameter force the template to select the third tab (the one named "Charlie")
The tab #1 got its own background color (lightblue) which is used as the tab is not selected.
The tab #2 does not get its own background color, thus the default one is used (this is tan)
The tab #3 got its own background color (red) but is not used as this is the selected tab and therefore gets the same color than the frame background
