I created a new user and initially started in gnome wayland. This issue wasn't present on xwayland. I then reset the user, and logged into gnome xorg. No problem in there either.
I reset the user and logged into Unity 7. Problem wasn't there. Initially.
To cut a long story short, this happens on Unity 7 when the launcher has been configured to show on a monitor that's not the primary (eg built in desktop display).
Steps to reproduce:
* Connect a second screen
* Log into unity
* Configure a dark theme (not totally black) - arc-dark is very good as when the glitch happens you can really tell the difference
* Open chromium - looks normal and themed.
* Close chromium
* Open the display tool, set the launcher placement on the secondary monitor
* Open chromium - you'll see it looks way darker now
This is at least on my setup.
I can reproduce this as well on my main account. I'll try on a different laptop I have at home.
Well, I'll be absolutely damned.
