Yeah, that’s the only explanation that makes sense. It’s just so strange to think that color pixels would use more energy.

I guess if one color pixel was significantly less efficient, and that color was also overrepresented on the display, then MAYBE changing to grayscale would require slightly less power to display the same intensity. But I don’t think that convoluted scenario probably isn’t what this person was thinking.

Why is it strange? Given that you have no idea whatsoever how pixels work, whats strange is that you have any expectation at all.

What? I think we all have some idea of how pixels work.
