[SOLVED] Strange i3 colouring when using Compton

I've been using i3 for the past few days, and was experiencing some screen tearing until I ran compton. It's cleared all the tearing right up, but I'm getting some weird colouring and artifacting on i3's tabs which I'm not sure how to fix

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Actually, I figured out a fix. I'm still not sure what was actually causing the issue, but by making an empty config file in '~/.config/compton.conf' the colours are back to normal. Must have been something in a default configuration file somewhere? Hope this helps anyone else who runs into similar issues.
