Since they use interference to select the colour, I would expect that the colour you see is dependent on the angle you view at, with lower angles leading to colours getting redder - simply because the effective distance between the plates gets longer away from perpendicular. But LCDs do that to some degree too, so maybe it isn't a problem...

I was thinking the same thing especially when they compare the technology to a peacock feather. They might get colour but it would be difficult to get true colour from every angle. It might not work well for televisions but it might work well for electronic books where the exact colour isn't as important.
