Black Paisley Wallpaper
The paisley motif on black — curved teardrops, fine internal detail, dense repeating ornament. Community-shared; register to add your own.
Paisley is one of the most detail-dense patterns in design: every motif is filled with fine internal line work, and the whole thing repeats. Repetition doubles any flaw — soften one motif and every copy across the screen looks soft at once. Native resolution is kept for that reason. It also tiles well on a wide monitor since there is no focal point for icons to land on. Right-click or long-press to save; free for personal use.
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.
