"https" in incognito omnibox should be white when secure, grey otherwise

Reported by geki...@gmail.com, Aug 24 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2837.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open incognito window (Material Design enabled)
2. open https page
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
i think "https" should grey to make a better readable url
you do it already on android chrome beta

What went wrong?
https is "white" like the hostname of the url

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 54.0.2837.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

not a real bug :)

Leaving it unconfirmed and adding "Proj-MaterialDesign-WebUI" Label so that the respective team can triage.

Thanks.

Hmmmm.

We're kinda trying to call out the scheme when it's HTTPS.  That's why it's green and not grey in non-incognito.

We made a decision (which I didn't like but whatever) to use monochromatic white icons and security text in incognito mode.  Since the scheme color matches those colors in normal, it should match in incognito too.

So I submit that Android should change to match desktop instead of the other way around.  Morphing.

I agree with pkasting: we should call out the scheme when it's HTTPS. This also helps to clarify the difference to cases liked mixed content (no lock icon, dimmed scheme). We moved away from using red/green on a dark background since it's unacceptable from an accessibility perspective (color contrast ratio of red scheme in incognito mode: 1.1!).

I attached on overview of the different cases.

Does this look good to you, pkasting?

Well, note that on that grey background, we'd want to use a lighter red if we wanted a colored scheme.  GetReadableColor() would have done that automatically :).  So yeah, the contrast of that particular combo is terrible, but that alone wouldn't rule out colored schemes.  However, if we already decided not to use colored icons (of any color), colored schemes don't make sense either.

I still want Android to use the much-more-visible diagonal strikethrough we use on desktop rather than the horizontal -- it's much more visible.

But in terms of when to dim and not dim things, I agree with comment 5.

Note that Windows is not currently correct here; https://mozilla-old.badssl.com/ correctly dims the scheme in incognito, but pages that strikethrough the scheme like https://expired.badssl.com/ show it as white.  I did not check Mac.

Yep, that's the right component.
