Not if Dark=Grey like on the screenshot. Needs to be proper black.
That's absolutely not true. OLED pixel energy usage is proportional to the amount of light they need to emit. Dark gray is essentially the same as black in terms of energy usage.
Man, what? No it's not.
Yes it is, mostly. It’s proportional.

Not exactly. Yes dark grey will consume more power than full on "the pixel is turned off" black but it does take less energy to show a dark grey screen than a bright white one.
