Steps to reproduce:
1.Launch chrome and apply above theme on browser from above given test URL.
2.Open NTP and observe omnibox.


Actual:Unable to differentiate visually between omnibox and tab-strip after applying theme. 
Expected:Omni-box and Tab-strip should be visually differentiable easily after applying theme.

This is regression issue broken in ‘M-69’ and below is the bisect info:
Good Build:69.0.3472.0

Summary: Omnibox background contrast too low with some themes (was: Regression:Unable to differentiate visually between omnibox and tab-strip after applying theme in chrome.)
Frankly I think the omnibox contrast is too low all the time.  But in any case we may need to guarantee minimum contrast levels or add a stroke in some cases.  ->jdonnelly as omnibox TL to triage.  +CC rameier as someone who has been looking at theme contrast issues.

Over to bklmn for his thoughts. I'm not sure what the latest plans are for theming and how they might related to this.

There are plans for theming, but not sure how those eng efforts are overlapped with this. When we did accessibility review we decided the OB didn't need a stroke (in general), but did darken the hover color value.

If the OB can know a theme is installed it should be easy enough to define a dark color w/ opacity to help with this, but I believe themes can control text color too, so this might need more guidance from the theme folks. 
monicagv@ to update on theme plans 
Per our Themes 2.0 design, the Omnibox will be themed whenever a theme is installed. Not sure if we want to wait until Themes 2 is implemented to fix this?

If we want to fix it sooner, perhaps we can add theme-ability to the OB and grab a theme color that makes sense when it comes to contrast?

adding label 'ET-MUM-Reported' as we need that label to track bugs.
