OLED and AMOLED type displays are especially effective at displaying the darkest possible black tones, which is why Google has developed an even darker dark mode than the one that already existedso that you can take advantage of the characteristics of this type of screen.
Displays with OLED and AMOLED technology offer virtually absolute dark tone reproduction
In fact the HTML color code for this new one is #000000a deep and absolute black that can only be faithfully represented on screens with these advanced technologies specialized precisely in achieving such intense black tones. The way to achieve them is as “simple” as turning off the pixels that show the black color, so that literally the darkness shown on the screen is complete.
Google introduced last May its dark mode and announced in early February the arrival of this new even darker mode to both the desktop version of Google and the one accessible from mobile devices. An even darker mode that is having a progressive distribution among users.
How to activate Google’s darker mode
The way to activate this complete darkness mode is as follows:
-Access to the gear icon displayed at the top right of Google.
-Enter to the quick settings.
-Select the dark mode.
For those whose devices do not have OLED or AMOLED displays, the increase in darkness will also be noticeable, but along with the aesthetic advantage and especially the reduction of eyestrain that is achieved with dark tones on the screens, there is another reason to opt for this dark mode.
And that is that by deactivating the pixels that show the darkest shades to the point that they are literally turned off the screen consumes less battery powerthis increases the device’s autonomy, an issue that is particularly noticeable in mobile devices.
