9to5Google reports that users are starting to see Google’s new “pitch dark mode.” The previous dark mode was an eye-pleasing gray, but Google has switched to true black (#000000), which can be predicted to really show up on OLED and AMOLED displays.
The new theme doesn’t appear to be available for everyone yet, but it appears to be rolling out gradually. If you want to switch to the new dark theme (of course it is available for you) you can change your settings as follows:
- 1. Select the gear icon in the upper right corner to open the quick settings.
- 2.Choose dark mode.
If you think dark gray is not dark enough, you might like the new black theme. It could also be a win-win for those looking to save some battery life on devices with OLED displays. But it’s still unclear how much battery life you can save or whether the sharp visual difference is worth the change…
