I've read outside with a Kobo Vox, an iPod Touch, a Galaxy Nexus, and a Kindle - you CAN read outside with the glass LCD/OLED displays, but they get washed out, if not completely unreadable, in bright sun. But they're not nearly as nice as the creamy whiteness of a Pearl Vizplex display, which is almost as nice as paper outside.
Still, as far as bezel colors, I prefer dark ones, to improve perceived contrast. The Sony PRS series have always seemed to go for either shiny colors or silver... in contrast to the matte graphite color of the later-gen Kindles, or the optional black of some of the Kobos.
