Does the color not matter for LCD? I'd think that a white pixel would have red, green, and blue all "on" (or "off", I'm not sure what the mechanism is). It wouldn't be nearly as much of an effect, as the majority of the power use would be the always-on-everywhere backight, but there should be some sort of effect.
