Yes you heard correctly, you can choose to use energy saving colours on your websites. I’m not making this up; there is an energy saving colour palette called Emergy-C. Apparently, if Google’s background colour was black as opposed to white they’d save 750 Megawatt-Hours a Year: read more about Black Google.
Sadly, that colour palette won’t always be great for your design but what it does is alert us to the fact that there are other ways to save the world just by doing our jobs.
