What color background uses the least amount of power?

Asked by Afos22 (3990points) August 8th, 2010

I was thinking about getting the most power out of the battery I currently have in my laptop. Besides switching to “Power Saver” mode and turning my screen brightness all the way down, I was thinking about changing my background to a black screen. Would this use less power than white? or gray? On a side note, would removing my desktop icons also save power?
