From the article:
Quote: "
In fact in newer liquid-crystal display, or LCD, monitors white is actually slightly more energy efficient than black.

Quote: "
Even though Google isn't tied to Blackle other than powering its search engine, Google green energy czar Bill Weihl in August posted a blog disputing the notion of black as the new green. "We applaud the spirit of the idea, but our own analysis as well as that of others shows that making the Google homepage black will not reduce energy consumption," he wrote. "To the contrary, on flat-panel monitors (already estimated to be 75 percent of the market), displaying black may actually increase energy usage."

Black is only more efficient if you use a CRT monitor, wite is more efficient on an LCD.
