Chrome menus & submenus highlights are extremely pale, invisible, and hard to discern on LCD monitors, especially for those of us with vision problems.

I attached a snapshot. I use 2 Dell P2314H monitors side by side. The pull down menu highlights for all apps on Windows 10 are clearly visible EXCEPT for Google's Chrome, however, after I take a screen snapshot of the Chrome, the highlights are slightly visible in the snapshot but NOT in the real screen mode. This is a clearly a design flaw by Chrome and I'm kinda not happy about all the responses from your company being so dismissive in all the forums with cliche responses, such as "we can't reproduce the issue, it's all in your head"! You need to give us options to be able to change the colors of everything. I've tried a million chrome themes from the webStore to no avail. Thanks

Adding appropriate label for expert review.
I'm getting similar here, possibly worse. At least you get the shortcuts highlighting. I get no highlighting at all. It's making Chrome very difficult to use. I have tried uninstalling Chrome, using Canary, installing custom and pre-built themes, modifying Windows Theme, adjusting my monitor warmth and constrast. Nothing changes this very white bar except... I turned on High Contrast Mode. This switched the menu into a different mode and suddenly I could see highlighting. Everything else looks bad now though.
Hi again. Sorry to add another comment. I've managed to fix mine.
I did some screen captures and worked out that while the highlight cannot be seen, it is there. I modified some registry settings but they didn't work.
The only way to see it was to turn on Windows 10 Night Light, or High Contrast.
I then tried on my other monitor and Chrome worked fine so I went through my monitor's settings and found the "HDMI RGB Range" setting. I changed it to use the full 0-255 range and now it works great. The highlight colour is 230, 25 points off of the full range, but the shortened HDMI range appears to limit between 16-235, which means that the white of 255 is barely different to the highlight white of 235, hence being difficult to see.
May not fix everyone's problem but worth a try.
