Sharenator for the Future!
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

well I think putting it black looks cool
I don't think a 'changeable' theme would work, once you go black...
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

As in, last longer on a given amount of energy? Or as in last longer, period?
Huh. You learn something new every day.
white light takes the most energy, red takes the least, look at these pictures
this is a red giant
it gives out not allot of radiation and energy
this is a blue giant

hmm... weird i could swear black pixels were more efficient

black does save energy but white on black is supposed to be bad for your eyes

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).

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.

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
