You can now Change Color of Chrome Browser New Tab UI. Here’s how to do it

Chrome developers are doing their best to add new options in the Chrome browser new tab customization menu which is available on the bottom left side of the screen.

Google is planning to replace the customization menu with the new one in upcoming versions of the Chrome browser. We have already covered an article on how to get the Chrome Customization menu version 2, but at that time it was possible to change the background and manage shortcuts. The option to apply color was also available on the menu, but it was not working at that time.

As reported by Techdows, the Chrome Canary v77 it is now possible to apply colors to browser UI means you can apply solid color themes to new tab page background.
