Change default color of Chrome when opening links in a new tab

Solution 1:

On my box (ubuntu 12+) custom css is possible:

~/.config/chromium/Default/User\ StyleSheets/Custom.css

As for now, it's not (yet) possible for chrome://newtab/ , see http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/override.html for more information.
