“When in doubt, always go with black.”
I have switched all my interfaces to black or “night mode.” It makes me feel like I am a high profile developer hocking my way into a very important website. If you think of all the energy all of our screens are using a simple switch to back – would save an incredible amount of energy.
Considering this – I might redesign my own website to a dark interface. What are the trade-offs? How to keep that fresh clean feeling for my visitors with a dark design. Black interfaces are usually associated with design in the 1.0 we, video games, hackers, coder and developer sites and software. I do have a small confusion – I am working on a PC – not just any PC but a top of the line MSI gaming PC, so I might as well turn to the dark side with my portfolio site.
Are you looking for even more basement nerd reasons why a noir interface would be a good switch? Take a look at this insane and beautiful case study. Ecobranding-design.com is an amazing resource I will refer to in a redesign.
Black Is The New Green
Today, more and more smartphones are designed with OLED displays and these displays consume less power when they display black, unlike the white and blue colors that consume a lot of power, but most Smarphones Ui are mainly white and blue. By designing a Black Ui, we could radically reduce energy consumption because OLED black screens use 54% less power than OLED white screens.
