Turns out, this is an airline issue.

As of this commit, airline no longer uses airline_tabtype to set the tab color.

Currently, it uses the tablabel highlight groups to style the element.

Probably, airline should return to using the tabtype highlight group. For now, you can use this workaround depending on if you show your tab type on the left or right:

" right
autocmd VimEnter * hi! link airline_tablabel_right airline_tabtype
" left
autocmd VimEnter * hi! link airline_tablabel airline_tabtype
