The test appears to have a limited release at this time, but as the images show, the very dark gray theme extends not only to the Google homepage but also to the search results.
It is unknown when the dark mode for desktop search could be officially implemented worldwide. “We’re always trying new ways to improve our experience for our users, but right now we don’t have anything specific to advertise,” Google said. The Verge.

Apple introduced dark mode in 2018 with macOS Mojave and iOS 13, and support for the system-wide option is now a staple feature of most native and third-party apps, both for mobile and computers.
