If I can't easily turn it off, then is there a simple way to make all of my tabs behave like contextual tabs? That is, I would like to be able to make them visible/invisible when a particular contextual item is selected. I tried the Visibility property of the RibbonTab to no avail.
Thank you

You can easily change both styles related to contextual tabs - ContextualGroupsStyle and ContextualTabsStyle. Both are properties of the RibbonView, so you can set them to your preferred visual style (You can use Blend to get the default styles and modify them). You can clean them a bit if you need cleaner style. Please let me know if you need assistance doing it.

The metro theme doesn't look very nice with the default contextual group tab template with the RadRibbonView. I customized the template but it looks like the highlight colors (red, blue, green etc.) are set programmatically.
How can I change or turn off the highlighting.
Cheers,

The RadRibbonView control follows strictly an MS Guidelines document for creating a Ribbon-like controls with the Office 2010 "look and feel". Unfortunately, the backgrounds of the RadRibbonContextualGroup's Header are fixed and they cannot be changed.

It's a shame because it effectively means that the RibbonView is not compatible with most of the styles. It's easy to disable the header color, but I have had much luck with the actual tab color.

I am not sure if we're talking about the same thing since I believe we might have misunderstood your issue.
Basically the RadRibbonContextualGroup control exposes a Color property to allow you to specify a color for the group. This color will not only be applied to the group's header, but to the header's of the tabs in this group. If the Color property isn't set, a list of predefined colors is used to colorize each ContextualGroup and its contextual tabs. You ca find more information about the Color property in our documentation.
Also, as Petar noted the RadRibbonView control follows the MS 'ribbon UI' guidelines however, we are trying to expose properties to allow you to customize this default look to better fit your scenario requirements and design. This is why we'll highly appreciate any suggestions on how to further expand the RadRibbonView customization dimensions.
