<h3>Low bit</h3>
<p>Pixels on some screens (including OLED and transflective LED) in ambient mode are either
"on" or "off", also known as "low-bit". When designing for low-bit ambient mode, use only black
and white, avoid grayscale colors, and disable antialiasing in your paint styles. Make sure to
test your design on devices with low-bit ambient mode.</p>
<h3>Reduced color space</h3>
<p>Some displays use a reduced color space in ambient mode to save power.</p>
<p>One reduced color space power saving method is to use a "low-bit" mode. In low-bit mode,
the available colors are limited to black, white, blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, and yellow.
When designing for low-bit ambient mode, use a black or a white background. For OLED screens,
you must use a black background. Non-background pixels must be less than 10 percent of total
pixels. You can use low-bit color for up to 5 percent of pixels on screens that support it.
You should also disable antialiasing in your paint styles for this mode. Make sure to test
your design on devices with low-bit ambient mode.</p>
<p>Other displays save power in ambient mode by not producing any color. When designing for
displays which do not use color in ambient mode, the background may be either black or
white.</p>
