Google is testing displaying the URL of the search result snippet where the https portion is a dark gray and the domain name portion is a light gray. It is a weird test, but hey, Google is always testing...
This was spotted by Brodie Clark who posted about it on X and SERP Alerts - here is his screenshot:

I honestly do not like this test - at least, reverse it so the domain name is dark.
Forum discussion at X.
