Cute without going bright — small doodles, soft pastel accents and gentle shapes kept on a black background. Community-shared; sign in to upload yours.
Pastel on black is a harder combination than it looks. Soft pinks and lilacs sit close together in tone, and when a file is compressed those near-identical shades merge into flat patches, which is what makes cheap versions of this style look muddy. Source-quality files keep the shades separate. The black surround also means only the pastel elements light up an OLED panel, so they read brighter than they would on white.

Common questions
Do black wallpapers actually save battery?
On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.
How do I set one as my wallpaper?
Long-press on mobile or right-click on desktop to save the image, then set it from your gallery or system wallpaper settings.
