Font color looks more pale/thinner after android system webview update

Reported by prasad....@gmail.com, Aug 11 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Write an Android application which will load some html text using native webviewclient.
2. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager & select Android System WebView. If Device has Android Lollipop or earlier and has the option Uninstall Updates, uninstall those updates.
3. Launch above step 1 written application and check the font color. 
4. Go to google play store and update Android System Webview and relaunch the step 1 written application.

Font colors will have significant difference. With update, font's sharpness will be more lower than without the updates and harder to read.

* If device default OS is Android 6.0+, then this issue will be available without any updates in Android System Webview.

What is the expected behavior?
Font color/sharpness/weight should not be changed

What went wrong?
Font color/sharpness/weight is very lower in updated version of system webview and harder to read

Did this work before? Yes This issue was noticed with recent updates to the system webview. 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.103  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

Text looks fine when open the same url through android chrome web browser. 
If access the url through android webview application, this can be reproduced.
