Some users have begun noticing the new dark theme in Google Search, 9to5Google reports. Previously, the dark mode was dark grey, whereas now, Google plans to switch it to fully black or #000000, which can be helpful for owners of devices with AMOLED or OLED screens.

The tech giant apparently continues to slowly roll out and test the new version of the dark theme. The black search background color could potentially help save battery life on smartphones and laptops. However, it won't make any big difference since users do not spend much time in Search.
