I was wondering if anyone knew any color schemes with a pure black background (#000000)? Every theme I could think of used something lighter colored so I wanted to know if I was missing some.
The motivation is partially I think it would look cool and partially the potential for lower power usage on an oled screen.
Edit: primarily asking for color scheme suggestions for my window manager and terminal, less so how to theme
You could use my GTK theme and tune the background color: https://github.com/He4eT/Desolate-GTK
Terminals usually allow you to choose any colors you like. For example you could pick any colorscheme here and tune the background color: https://terminal.love
I ended up setting up custom themes for multiple different widget sets to get a true black background. It was easy for most QT variants, not too bad for GTK2, really awful for GTK3 because it doesn’t have proper documentation for manual theme creation, and I haven’t tried to tackle GTK4 yet.
Because they all need different configs (and the window manager title bar etc. may need yet another one), it’s difficult to give suggestions unless you tell us which terminal and window manager software you’re trying to theme—the requirements for a Gnome session are different from those for something like fluxbox. Some terminal software even has its own built-in theming support.

I love the KDE plasma theme Underworld. It’s definitely black and pairs well with a ton of stuff. I like Breeze Dark as the global theme, Ball10050’s Black color, and Underworld for the plasma style. This makes it all primarily black.
If you’re talking desktop/windows manager themes,
Graphite and colloid are a couple of my favorites.
It is offers customization via cli for things like borders, icons, compact/hdpi, etc.
