They are both black.  What makes the "plain text" one look lighter is a
combination of things:

* Hinting, antialiasing, and all the parameters of font rendering.

* Gamma used for antialiasing.

This is a *deep* rathole - if you start looking into it, expect to get
drawn in as in a black hole, with little chance of ever coming back ;)

(If you configure Evolution to use a larger font, you'll see that it is
indeed black.)
