Google Turns the Lights Out.
Google's homepage is one of the most popular websites and nobody can deny this. Back in the past, there were numerous topics when people discussed about Google's website interface, many researchers considering that a black version of the page would reduce energy consumption made by the monitors. At this time, Google is still white and I personally think it will remain the same for a long period of time from now on.
"We believe in doing our part to help combat climate change, and found the Earth Hour initiative to be a timely, important event. Further, we think the 'lights out' idea's individual-centered nature is something that millions of people worldwide can participate in. In short, we really like it. So we did something about it," it is mentioned on the official website of the campaign entitled "Earth Hour."
Although many of you may find the black background pretty useful, the Mountain View company is not willing to permanently switch to such a color, so white will remain on our monitors for a long period from now on.
