I have found that on pretty much any type of screen, black pixels use 25% less energy that white ones.
And what colour is Sharenator?

Maybe as a special day, or just a changeable "theme" could we have a black sharenator? (lol at racist reference).

maybe like this?( lol i just inverted the pic. re do some colours lol)



BONUS TIP: It might be enabled on your mac. press control +alt/option + command + 8 to invert the screen

    Actually i think you'll find it doesn't matter if it's black or white

    But yeah, black pixels only use less energy on CRT monitors, the vast majority are on LCD screens now and thus white pixels use less energy. So it does matter, shut up michael

            Oh I see how it is... She can't love me, I can't love her?

            Cause they say we're the wrong color
            Staring, gloating, laughing, looking
            Like we've done something wrong
            Because we show love strong, get real, come on
            Calling us names too bad to mention
            But we pay them no attention
            For color blind are inner feelings
            If we feel happiness
            And know our love's the best, forget their mess

              technically the most energy efficient is red... i don't know why but it is like a red led will last longer than a blue or Wight led its weird

                  white light takes the most energy, red takes the least, look at these pictures
                  this is a red giant
                  red 20giant - Sharenator for the Future!

                  it gives out not allot of radiation and energy
                  this is a blue giant
                  blue 20giant - Sharenator for the Future!
                  this gives out over 1000 times more energy, so the colour is more white

    Black would be easier on the eyes when it gets dark, but I'm not sure where you're getting your info on black pixels using less energy than white pixels, as the evidence shows the opposite to be true

        Well the white ones have a job and efficiently help pay your bills, the black ones shoot your hard drive and kill the other pixels. Sorry, I had to.

        That is only on old CRT monitors, almost everybody should be using the newer LCD monitors which actually, from the source I posted, use more energy to display black pixels.

        Blackle cites an OLD newspaper(2002), and the only recent "evidence" they have is a BLOG post.

        Also, they DO NOT show actual numbers like my source does, although I am sure they are making a fair bit off those Google Ads.

        Not to mention they are actually hurting their cause, since using many smaller server farms like Blackle et al. is much less energy efficient than using one large one(Google).

    that's not a bad idea when i cant sleep at night i get up and get on sharenator and the white screen burns. Or maybe find a way to allow it where people have the choice of either color im not shore if that is possible tho.

        it was just a thought it would be awesome if they could but if they decide to do it they might put low on their thing to do for the site. they do have more important things to do like deal with the troll problem that is slowly creeping in.

    This entire thread is based around information for old technology.

    "CRT monitors, which until a few years ago were the predominant models among PC users, consume more power when a computer screen is white. To confirm this, Schindler measured the energy output of an 18-inch (45.7-centimeter) CRT monitor and found it used 102 watts when the screen was white but only 79 watts when the display was black.

    This is not the case, however, with LCD monitors, which have no phosphors and represent the lion's share of every new monitored purchased in the developed world, including those used by laptops. Instead, LCD displays rely on an array of thin-tube fluorescent bulbs that provide a constant source of light to create a white screen. To make it black, LCDs rely on a diffuser to block this light. As a result, LCDs use more energy than CRTs to display a black screen. Measuring a 17-inch (43-centimeter) LCD monitor, Schindler found that white required 22.6 watts, while black came in a tad higher at 23.2 watts. With a 20-inch (50.8-centimeter) LCD, black required 6 percent more energy than white."

    Black uses more Energy than White on LCD monitors, which anyone who can afford an internet connection uses.
