There are 16,777,216 colors available in the RGB color model. Out of those, there are 2 every designer knows. Using pure black and pure white in your work can be a great decision. But it can also make things difficult to read, bother users and provide a poor user experience (UX).
There’s no denying that properly choosing colors is an important decision in graphic design. Just like with other colors, using black and white should definitely be a thought-out one, however. There are many alternatives to just a harsh pure black, ranging from very dark grays to darks with a hint of color in them, which can fit your color scheme beautifully. If you would prefer to keep your color purely black and switch out the pure white, which can also be a very sensible course of action, a gentle gray is an amazing alternative.
You won’t find many use cases of a pure black when you’re browsing major websites or apps. It’s a very small decision that can have a very positive or negative impact on your work. Choose wisely.

I completely agree, small choices may not have a large impact but they should be choices nonetheless. Choices, backed with knowledge. Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words and your support! 🙌🙏

I can't say I don't agree with you but there are some things you need to think about. Most of modern mobile phones uses AMOLED or OLED displays. I won't go deeper how these technologies works but simply pure black pixels don't emit any light. if you are using pure BLACK & WHITE design it can save you some amount of battery.

[@Reialesa]

Ahh that's an interesting perspective! Fits very well into my main point, that it should be a conscious, carefully considered decision. In terms of battery savings, I'd be curious to see exactly what kind of a performance difference a pure black / pure white color scheme would make. Ties well into the point about knowing your audience as well. If your audience is younger, a pure black / white color scheme isn't as bothersome and might save on precious battery life. If your audience is older, the battery life likely doesn't matter nearly as much. But, again - if your audience is younger and they spend a lot of time on their phones, a pure black / white can get harsh. It's very much a multilayered issue!

[@victoreta]

​@@Reialesa The question is: How much more battery will be used by changing from #FFFFFF to #1F1F29? I don't think it will be too much

[@Reialesa]

Do you think about your color choices when it comes to black and white, or do you go for the extremes by default? Be honest 😉

White : 4:21 Black: 3:37
