IF your Google has suddenly turned black, you’re not alone.
Google is constantly evolving, and many of you will have noticed that the colour scheme may have changed recently.
Since the beginning of the internet – and of paper, really – there’s been an obsession with black text on a white background.
But with smartphone and computer screens, it’s not ideal: the bright light can be blinding in the dark.
So if you’re a morning or night screen user, you might prefer dark mode.
Google has been offering a dark mode for a while now, but it’s really just a deep grey.

Now Google has begun testing an even darker colour – total black.
This is especially satisfying on OLED screens – which can illuminate or switch off individual pixels – as true black can be displayed.
And it means you get the deepest black possible, saving your eyes from glare in the dark.
Not everyone will see the deeper new colour.
So if you do get the deep black hue on your Google, consider yourself lucky.
If you’ve got an iPhone, you should consider turning dark mode on.
Go to Settings and then choose Display & Brightness.
Then tap Dark to activate Dark Mode.
You can also turn the setting on from your iPhone’s Control Centre.

It’s possible to set Dark Mode to turn on automatically at sunset, or another time of our choosing.
This feature is also available on Apple Macs, as well as Android phones.
