The client-side-decorated GTK3 headerbars are 3% transparent, so the light background in the screenshot causes them to appear slightly lighter than if there were no transparency. I have not changed the colors at any point since forking, and I'm certain they weren't modified for the theme used in the screenshots.
It would probably be a good idea to use a background that makes the transparency more apparent for the screenshots.
Ah, so that's it. I agree that the screenshot should somehow reflect that, but I can't think of an obvious way to do so.
Any idea why I'm not seeing them as transparent at all?

I think that should be somehow possible with the background image on the "Full preview" (same background is being used with the current screenshots, but aligned in a way that the transparency isn't apparent). I'll update the screenshots at some point. Thank you for the heads up :)

The most obvious reason could be using the non-transparent Arc-solid variants, but I'm assuming that isn't the case :)
The headerbar transparency is unfortunately not working with some GTK applications. At least all GTK4 applications, and GTK 3 applications that are using libhandy have non-transparent headerbars, and that probably can't be fixed. Firefox doesn't have a "regular" GTK headerbar, and therefore isn't transparent. I'm not sure what file manager you're using on the first screenshot, so I can't tell what could be going on with it...
EDIT: Another thing to note is that the headerbars are non-transparent for maximized windows as well.
It's nemo
on the first screenshot. I don't think any application has shown this transparency, but I'm not sure if my compositor actually supports that either.
I have updated the preview screenshots so, that the transparency is more apparent. I think that's all to be done here, so I'm closing this.
Thanks for the help here.
I have to admit I liked the colours in the screenshots a bit better than the "real" one, but I'm also very aware that changing them is not an option since that would lead to a huge amount of people complaining that they don't have the same preference I do.
System info
The colours I'm seeing being used don't match those in the screenshots -- I'm seeing some more "neutral" greys.
The top bar on the file manager is #2F343F, but it's #333843 in screenshots:
For Firefox's equivalent top bar, the colour is #2F343F too:
