Can't change scrollbar color in a GTK3 theme without messing with it

I use GoldBars as my GTK3 theme. Differently from the screenshots, at least for Firefox 89, the vanilla, gray scrollbar is displayed, although other elements of the theme are clearly in effect.

I would like to color the scrollbar's trough. Something that works on other themes is to put this in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

.scrollbar.trough,
scrollbar trough {
    background-color: blue;
}

But for this particular theme it does not work. I could track it down to this fragment of its gtk-3.20/gtk-widgets.css file:

window,
window.popup,
.background {
    background-color: @theme_bg_color;
    color: @theme_fg_color;
}

If I remove the background-color statement, the scrollbar gets the right color, but other parts of the window, such as the toolbar, lose their theming.

How can I color the scrollbar without affecting other parts of the theme?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
