For several versions in recent past, the color of the omnibox in Google Chrome (and Chromium) was determined by the user's gtk3 theme (if the user opted for using a gtk theme instead of classic mode in chrome://settings.
This held true until the release of version 69 in which the omnibox now looks like this:

Edit: the workaround described below was limited to version 69 and 70. It is not possible to circumvent the white background of the address bar in version 71.
Further edit: the relevant bug has now been taken up by a Googler who worked extensively on the transition of Chrome to gtk3 and so I'm hopeful of a solution soon.
Enter chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md in the omnibox and press Enter.
Click on the dropdown in the first entry, choose "Normal" and restart the browser.
It will change appearance from default
to normal
Note that flags may disappear at any time in the future. However, a bug, GTK+ theme ignored in omnibar in the new interface has been filed and, if addressed, may provide a solution without resorting to chrome://flags.
Update: This bug has not attracted sufficient interest and currently, 20181205, nobody is assigned to it. And the workaround fails in Chrome 71.
