Windows high contrast theme - Chrome menus have white text on white background

Reported by kamisai...@gmail.com, Mar 15 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set a high contrast theme in Windows. (Tested in Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2; assuming it applies to most/all versions of Windows.)

2. Open any menu in Chrome (e.g., bookmarks, Chrome menu, right click).

What is the expected behavior?
Either of these:

1. Chrome uses the Windows color scheme so that the background of menus is black and the text of items is white for a high contrast theme (ideal scenario).

2. The text is black on the white background so it's at least readable.

What went wrong?
Most of the text in every menu is white on a white background. Shortcut keys and the arrows ( > ) indicating a submenu are a light grey. When you mouse over a particular menu item, the text becomes black.

Did this work before? Yes Yesterday, before this update http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2016/03/stable-channel-update-for-chrome-os.html

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

This is annoying... :)

Can confirm it's happening to me too. I disabled all my extensions/theme, but it looks like it's not anything on my end. Given that the menu options display the default Windows blue color when being hovered over, it looks like it wasn't coded to recognize high contrast mode at all. This affects all of the little system menus (including right click) but third party extensions are unaffected, as are chrome:// pages (although, it'd probably be supremely easy to make them black background/white text for high contrast mode, but that's a separate issue.

As OP suggested, option 1 would be the best case scenario here & is in fact how it functioned previously (the windows dialog below Chrome demonstrates this), but with the big material design update I can see how this bug slipped by.

Thanks
