Chrome treats theme as a dark theme even though it's not dark

Reported by merwin.m...@gmail.com, Jun 7 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.24 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch Google 
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
I would like my navigation icons to be visible.

What went wrong?
Not sure if this is a feature or bug. It is incredibly annoying. There's very small difference between usable  icons and greyed out icons. No option to change back to darker arrows or bookmarks.

Did this work before? Yes In the previous version

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.24  Channel: beta
OS Version: OS X 10.10.5
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

Not sure where else to voice this. Again, I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug. However, it doesn't feel right. Perhaps I am unreasonable, but I hate it and it frustrates me that I can't change it back.

This color is by design. Assigning to sgabriel@ for review.

You are using incognito with a theme, therefore bypassing the normal theming which looks like attached, and is consistent.

It's not in incognito. However, it does appear to be theme related. Thank you.

 merwin.miles@ - please let me know the name of the theme you're using. I want to investigate more.
Apologies shrike@, I applied the theme over a year old, and I just updated to a newer theme in order to address this issue. If there is a library that stores old themes, I don't know where it would be. The only information I found says that you must find the theme in the WebStore again, but I don't remember the name of the theme. The only thing I can go on is the color of the tab-bar. If you want to try that way, I'm attaching a picture of that, but I didn't have any luck myself. Good luck!

May be this is similar: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/project-cupid-theme/eabnodlokhenjkhaoahjkomffchhpnjl?hl=en-US

Icons are very hard to see and the dropdown is black in normal window.

The faint icon problem is being tracked in  Issue 618763 .

Chrome examines themes and guesses whether it is "light" or "dark." For some reason Chrome is thinking the theme in #7 and being used by the original reporter are dark, which doesn't seem like the right decision. That's what I will be looking into in this bug.

[Mac][Material Design] Adjust cutoff for detecting a "dark" theme.

Chrome looks at the whiteComponent of a theme's custom toolbar color to
decide if the theme is "dark." The line between ligth and dark is an
empirical value - this cl adjusts the cutoff in hopes of getting closer
to the right value.
