"Unless you’re using an OLED or AMOLED screen and your dark mode is truly black – not dark grey, not dark blue, BLACK. There is no difference in power consumption."

I thought this was a myth. I looked into it last year and found that power consumption was (roughly) proportional to brightness.

At a meta-level, I'm surprised that something with so factual (and testable) an answer can still not be settled.
