The controls have the background which corresponds to said control, which means
a text input has obviously a text input colour. However, the container that
holds these controls is, as it's pretty clear in the search box, the same as
toolbar.

This is also what I do propose, as you can see in the screenshot where the
location bar is editable, it looks like a text input box on a toolbar
background, consisent with what the search and filter bar do. So the only
question is the clickable location bar, and imho content background would be
wrong there for multiple reasons, mostly because iti s not the actual content
that dolphin shows, but also because that would make it inconsistent if you
switch to the editable location bar, and either the container suddenly becomes
toolbar-coloured again, or it has the same design as the clickable location bar
you propose and thus behave different than the filter- or search bar.
