webpages are too bright

[ghost]

• Electron version: Latest
• Operating system: Mac

Expected behavior

Take a look at the following screenshot from chrome.

Actual behavior

This is how it appears using electron.

How to reproduce

I've noticed this happening in both my custom electron apps, and in other apps that are built on top of electron: The brightness just seems to be higher than on chrome.
But, i've also noticed this issue when using qutebrowser so my guess is that this might be a chromium issue?

This could be the same problem as the bug I filed yesterday: #10732

[ghost]

It is indeed the same as the bug you filed.
I'm not sure what I can do to help though!

[teleclimber]

Actually, I take it back. I think there is something else going on.

[edit]On the left is a page rendered in Electron, on the right is same page in Chrome.[/edit]

You'll notice it's only the <pre> and <br> that look significantly different. It turns out these are styled as:

font-family: monospace;

I presume this is the same font as is used to show the XML code in the screenshots above. So the issue appears to have something to do with that font, or the way Chrome renders that font.

Beyond that, I'm not sure.

I suspect this is something similar to #10955 or so.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Electron better.

The version of Electron you reported this on has been superseded by newer releases.

If you're still experiencing this issue in Electron v2.0.x or later, please add a comment specifying the version you're testing with and any other new information that a maintainer trying to reproduce the issue should know.

I'm setting the blocked/need-info label for the above reasons.
