I agree completely. The best wallpaper is pure black. I haven't used anything other than black in ~20 years.

  black wallpaper will be awesome for battery life once OLED laptop screens come out

    I mean I guess if your primary use of your laptop is sitting on the desktop with no windows open, just staring at it?

    It's not really true that black wallpaper saves battery. Black wallpapers have been shown to make almost no difference on smartphones.

  50% gray is the way to go. I've been doing it since we had to simulate gray by dithering black and white pixels.

    I agree. Black and white often pop up against certain types of content (e.g. white spreadsheets on black background, dark mode terminals on white), but gray's a good compromise.
