about:blank changes background color to same as adjacent tab

Reported by underska...@gmail.com, Apr 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.29 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
about:blank; https://www.youtube.com/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open about:blank in a tab. I do it by ctrl+clicking a bookmark from the New Tab page.
2. Open a website (with a non-white bg color) in another tab.
3. Do stuff on the internet for a while. This includes opening and closing other tabs, opening and closing other windows, but not looking at (i.e. selecting) the about:blank tab.
4. Select the tab from step 2 by clicking on it.
5. Select the about:blank tab.

What is the expected behavior?
The about:blank page is white.

What went wrong?
The about:blank page has the same background color as the tab from step 2.

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.29  Channel: beta
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)

This isn't really that reproducible, but it has happened today and yesterday, and I've never seen it before that.

i came across with the same issue. I couldnt record a screentcast. But i can say this issue is reproducable for me too. 
As far as I can see in the video in comment #1, you did it correctly, and the bug was reproduced.

The background color of the about:blank page appears to be #ffffff in the beginning of the video, and #f1f1f1 near the end. The background color of youtube.com is #f1f1f1.

Unable to reproduce in Chrome 62.0.3202.38 beta (64-bit).

Is there any way to get an old version of Chrome to test on, to check if I'm testing it correctly?

>Is there any way to get an old version of Chrome

1. use the unofficial Chrome portable
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Google%20Chrome%20Portable/
2. use the official Chromium (not Chrome) snapshots
   https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html

   * To find a snapshot number for the given version, use https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/
   * To find where the regression appeared, use https://www.chromium.org/developers/bisect-builds-py

I tried several versions of both 1. and 2. (including Chromium 59.0.3071.29).

Unable to reproduce in any of them.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, or there is something else going on.
