What color is the HDX's UI?
Can someone please tell me what color their HDX's interface is?
A. It is Charcoal grey? B. Is it Grey? C. It's Black! D. It changes shades every restart Also the night theme on your HDX's reader would you say the background is A. Black? B. Charcoal grey? My replacement is charcoal grey. My first one was near black then as you know started changing shades. Talking about 50 shades of gray here! So what is the real color?!?

If the measure of black is the frame, then, yes, both the UI background and the white text on dark background have a charcoal grey background.
I never noticed until you brought up the question. I had interpreted it as black. Having auto-brightness on will change brightness in the foreground and background. I keep mine at 50% constant so it never changes. Auto-brightness changes the light level every time you turn the unit's angle to the external light source.

Hi Blossom,
my background doesn't change on restart but if I bring it to a homescreen with just one app, the background is actually grey towards the middle and then fades to black as you get towards the borders. It almost plays tricks with the eyes and if you have a lot of icons it may just appear black as the icons would rest on top of the grey in the middle. As for the reader's night mode, do you mean just making the background black? In that case, my background is black but certainly not as pitch black and the hardware border around the screen. |

After a factory reset and Firmware update my UI is now near black! I don't know which changed it. No more Charcoal Gray.
Now this looks like the pictures Amazon shows. I think this is the right color. I hope! |
