I wonder what makes some of us like this. Is it eye color? Just duration of use? My partner uses the brightest setting on her phone and I use the most dim. I bought a nice gaming monitor years ago but I have it at 5% brightness and with all dark settings on everything so it kinda renders a big point of it useless to me.
Dark uses less power because it doesn’t have to work as hard to brighten the screen.
Light text on dark background is better for the eyes. Dark on light became the standard though because its easier to make black ink and white paper than white ink and dark paper.

This is only true for OLED screens. On an LCD, it technically uses slightly more power on dark to put the black “ink” in front of the white panel.
This is also why I judge light mode advocates - I think they’re still printing out copies of webpages. lol.

This is honestly one of the reasons why I could never take Star Wars seriously.
Why the fuck are good and bad guys colour coded? It’s not a sport. What if a Sith Lord thought green looks great on a lightsaber?
It also makes it far less realistic, evil people would want to appear good and would use everything in their power to give their image the aesthetic advantage.
Having said that, I think Andor did a great job with it, fully believable.

Light text and dark background on paper become hard to read in dim lighting or as you age. You want the lightness of the paper to reflect light.
I find that a bright office with windows needs a light theme for computer screen and, a darker office is suited to dark theme.
