JAKARTA - Users are starting to see a new pretty dark mode on Google, as reported by 9to5Google. Dark mode was previously just a cool gray, but Google has now switched to true black with color code #000000 which should actually appear on OLED and AMOLED displays.

Google announced the wider availability of dark mode earlier this month, but so far, the release has been slow. It seems that few people use it and know about it, and 9to5Google reports that some users have received the new theme.

Google said it was testing a new dark mode in February last year and then announced that the new dark mode was already available on desktop and mobile in a tweet earlier this month.

This new theme has appeared on users' laptops, but it still looks dark gray in the Google app and Google Search in Safari on iPhone. The color contrast between the gray font and the solid black background makes the change even more striking.

If you want to use this dark mode then follow this way can change your settings):

1. Select the gear icon in the top right corner to open the quick settings.
2. Select Theme
3. Select dark mode.

The new look can be a “win” for those who think dark gray isn't dark enough. But it could also be a "win" for those looking to save battery life on devices with OLED displays.

But it's not clear how much battery life you can save, or whether the noticeable visual differences are even worth the change.
