How to suppress the white screen when Emacs starts?

Is there anything I can put into `early-init.el` that suppress that white screen that appears before the actual theme loads? I'm using the gruvbox theme which is not part of Emacs so calling it from `early-init.el` probably doesn't make sense on a fresh Emacs install. I was thinking maybe it is possible to change that white to a dark color at least.

I use hardcoded values from my theme: https://github.com/angrybacon/dotemacs/blob/master/early-init.el#L35-L36

I don’t know how relevant this is to your configuration, but I got around this by switching to running emacs as a daemon. Once it’s running, the emacsclient starts instantly and I don’t get blinded by the white screen.

That's true. Thank you.

I do `load-theme` in `early-init.el` :)
