I got that info from scientific america, not to say weather it's true or not:
CRT monitors, which until a few years ago were the predominant models among PC users, consume more power when a computer screen is white. To confirm this, Schindler measured the energy output of an 18-inch (45.7-centimeter) CRT monitor and found it used 102 watts when the screen was white but only 79 watts when the display was black.
I'm a web developer, graphic designer, type designer, musician, comicbook-geek, LEGO-collector, food lover … as well as husband and father, located just south of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Earlier this year I forgot my laptop charger and ended up on an IBM thinkpad running windows XP, which lead me to doing a bit of research on this sort of thing.
People still use Internet Explorer 6. 0.01% of people, but that still is around 1 million people. I'm sure there must be some internet cafes and hostels using old computer monitors.

Interesting article! Thanks for sharing. However, I assume nobody use CRT-screens anymore?

You’re probably right!
