How about this to keep things even simpler:

Define these (6) colors:
NORM{FG,BG,BORDER}COLOR
SEL{FG,BG,BORDER}COLOR

And then use NORM{BG,FG}COLOR for the entire bar (unselected tags,
mode, title and status), separating different stuff (the tags, the
mode, the title and the status) with a one-pixel-wide vertical line
(with color NORMFGCOLOR).
SEL{BG,FG}COLOR would then only be used for selected tags.
{NORM,SEL}BORDERCOLOR speak for themselves I guess...
