Dark mode has been a user-favorite feature for some time now. While dark mode doesn't really turn your screen completely dark, you get to experience something on the shades of dark gray. This is exactly the color you'll see on Google Search on the desktop when switched to dark mode. To note, Google has been experimenting with the dark theme on Search desktop for months now.

Users took to social media platforms to report their Google page turning into dark gray out of the blue. Soon after, Google rolled out the dark mode for selected beta users on desktop. And now, Google Search dark mode has been announced for all users globally. Looking back, Google Search in dark mode has been available for Android for months now.
