Does this also apply to darker coloured sites vs. lighter coloured sites? Probably... Maybe someone should start a petition to Google to make their pages have Black backgrounds on them. :P Just kidding...

Many people say that having a dark background takes longer to load and doesn't hold a bright cheery type atmosphere. It is a tough call to decide on the dark or the light. I recently changed my site to a lighter design with a white background instead of Black which received some complaints. Hmmmm, now I feel guilty.

May be now is time to introduce Internet Light Saving Time :) Also a power management scheme may be set to wake the monitor up only when it's needed. Power saving is more critical for mobile phones, that are powered from the batteries. That is an interesting idea, though an ambient lighting may also have a part in it.
