I have to disagree here that the use of "primarily grey" icons with an outline would be better.
I still like the idea of a bright outline on any selected control as it does make it easier to see, and in a piece of software like this it can be an "opposite side of the color wheel" to the primary background to make the fact that it is selected very obvious.
But in the absence of that, the use of "full color" icons for selected controls versus grayscale icons for unselected ones is perfectly obvious, and in pretty common use elsewhere.
