Honestly, this could happen with any app that your background color will match the branding. This doesn't seem like an issue to me. You could always have a dark taskbar to let everything stand out. You can't set your taskbar to a bright shiny color and complain that it steals the focus from icons inside it.
In my screenshot above, ALL other icons in the taskbar seem to work just fine across all taskbar backgrounds, only our new icon fails. So I would think we can do better.
In Windows 10 you can change the taskbar color, so you would have the same problem there.
Home > Personalization > Colors Change your accent color enable the "Start, taskbar and action center" checkbox under "Show accent color on the following surfaces"
If I make it blue my Edge color is hard to read, Green makes my Spotify icon a bit less clear so imo you can't really do the "right" thing for everyone when you have an icon with a single color
we've shipped the new icons, please see https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/6607#issuecomment-334600845

Even worse, the taskbar color is determined from the wallpaper, e.g.:
Or can be set directly (yes, where the gap is, the logo is):
