+1 This is probably very very subtle for most people to notice, but I'm seeing aswell and it's bugging me to no end. I'm pretty sure even the colors in the developer tools are off.
At first I thought it was just me seeing things, but surely enough a side by side comparison with firefox (15) revealed otherwise: http://i.imgur.com/N29QC.png
Smells like subpixel aliasing?

I've noticed this as well, for blue links. It's really bugging me. Are you aware of a workaround?
Edit: I'm on a Mac, 10.7.5, FWIW

I haven't found one. I tried switching color profiles on my display, removing extensions, upgrading to Chrome Canary -- colors are still off.
There's new ICC support in Chrome 22. Perhaps that is interacting poorly with some setting in your system?

I think that change is only supposed to apply to rendering of certain images, not text. Regardless, I went down that avenue as much as I could, switching color profiles (as I mentioned) in my display settings and rebooting to see if there'd be any change.
It shouldn't be the issue since ICC was already supported by other browsers, and they're not showing this new text color abnormality, just Chrome.

Has anyone else noticed this? I've been watching Google's "Past 24 Hours" search result and only one other person has talked about a similar problem; he's seeing the same thing but only on external monitors.
This is the first show-stopping Chrome bug for me... I can't work with a browser that won't display the colors I tell it to display when designing pages. Frustrating that I can't even get confirmation others are experiencing it.
