Red, green, blue, white. If the controller is clever, it will use sub-pixel addressing for greyscale images that will make use of the higher sub-pixel resolution, rather like Microsoft's cleartype does for LCD screens. But it will never be as good as a pure 1200x1600 greyscale screen for greyscale images.
I think you are right. I have been searching for more information and found here.

Eink triton will create color using a thin transparanet colored filter arrary (CFA) in front of the black and white display. As long as this CFA cannot change its color, I don't think eink Triton can create 1600* 1200 BW image.

I guess I should find a way to get something like Hanvon WISEreader E920.
