Chrome Icons Get a Tan

[Brian Miller]

On the new Dev version of Google Chrome, take a look at the profile icon of the man...

In version 16, he has been given a little tan; perhaps a nod to Google's man Indian workers:

Here's what the male profile icon looks like in version 15:

[Brian Miller]

Here's what he looks like in Chrome 17, Canary build:

[Brian Miller]

Here's the real screenshot from my Chrome 17 Canary build on Windows 7.

See how much darker ChromeBama is getting?

Lol funny spot. I see how it'd catch my eye too if I had it set to that guy... :p

Why don't I have "users" under mine?

No, it's not Mr Incognito, it's the icon you get when you select a multi profile user.

Just noticed, the Superhero Douchebag Guy, The one with the blue eye mask is also getting the "Indian" Treatment...

Sorry for going off topic here, but is that yellow the default theme in chrome canary builds now?

I think they're usually yellow in colour so that makes sense.

[Brian Miller]

No, I made a Yellow theme for my Canary installation.

LOL HAHA :D

[Brian Miller]

Stil, there's been no official word from Google about this. Clearly, they had meetings and some changed the hue of those images and they are continuing to get darker in newer builds.
