Are there colors that are less taxing for the graphics card to display compared to others? Example - I'm guessing a 3D art wallpaper is going to need more resources than a simple solid gray background but is there a difference between displaying a particular solid color over another?

yes, solid black with an alpha of 0

Is this 1995?
you still running 4MB of RAM?

what are you smoking

Sort of. If the card can go into 256color mode or smth when not all colors are needed then those colors would be less taxing. Not any individual colors tho.

There used to be a myth that certain shades of green was less taxing on a system than other colours.
Not sure which shades of green in particular tho.

No, because they all have an assigned bit value, all a GPU has to do is tell the display what value to display and where. Every color uses the same amount of bandwidth and takes up the same amount of space. Unless of course you switched your color spectrum to 256 colors, in which case it would be less taxing.

No, it doesn't matter. In the end your GPU refreshes the whole output anyway and it's not like it magically knows that nothing has changed or that the next byte is like the last one or anything like that. A multiplication is a multiplication, it doesn't matter which bytes you multiply. I bet you could find optimizations for stuff like that, but today's GPUs can handle refreshing the desktop very easily, so nobody bothers with it just to save a few mW.
