Spinning this off from bug 1704347. The design proposal includes changing the light browser background from #F9F9FB to #EDEDF1 (the same as the tab bar's background). This background would briefly show when loading arbitrary links in new tabs. So for example, when you were on page with a white background and opened another page with a white page in a new tab, a darker browser background would be more visible as a darker flash between the two page's backgrounds. Therefore I'm hesitant to just do this. IMHO, we should do some sort of quantitative analysis of web site backgrounds in light mode to see if there's an average we could reasonably use to make opening links in new tabs as smooth as possible. Right now we seem to be shooting in the dark here.
Note that the browser background and the new tab page's background currently use the same color when using the Light theme, although they're technically separate. We could change one without changing the other.
