As for Blackle.com, their claims that having a black background conserves energy was proven to be inaccurate since half of the screens that were used for the test were CRT screen. CRT!? Seriously!? Here is the article:

Anyway, I prefer whiteRoot because it's easy on the eyes...especially on sunny days like Root said a while back.
