Google Black White

Earlier this month, we covered how Google has been stepping up their black search results design test, something they tried a year ago as well.

Now, Google is testing this black user interface but also with blue lines across the left side of each snippet.

Sergey Alakov spotted this new variation and posted screen shots of them on Twitter. Here are the blue lines, one longer and wider than the other, side by side:

If you are going to go black and white with the design Google, then yea, add some blue coloring to it. But I do prefer the current user interface and design.
