This or That: Black websites or white ones?

Black websites or white ones?


Which uses less energy? The answer depends on what kind of monitor you're using. Modern LCD screen? These days they're pretty common, which is a good thing because the difference in energy used to display a mostly white website and mostly black website is practically nil when using LCD technology -- not to mention LCDs take significantly less energy to run overall when compared to other monitor types. Older, larger, cathode ray tube monitors are a whole other story though. Not only do they take way more energy to run period (about 5 times as much as an LCD screen) but displaying a white website makes the energy consumption jump by as much as 10 watts. That's especially not cool considering the majority of websites out there are mostly white (including us!).
