Ask HN: Do OLED displays only save energy with absolute black?

It was always my understanding that OLED displays use less energy the darker the screen is. However I now came across some information that this is actually only true for absolute black (#000000). Is that correct? Does #010101 use the same energy as #FFFFFF or do darker shades still use less energy?
