Colors in JBC

Do you remember my first post (# 110) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=170312&page=8
with the attached PDF file which has some reading material in cyan color?
Remember that we both couldn't read the cyan text from this PDF practically AT ALL on our JBCs?
You, my very respected opponent, yourself came to the conclusion that in case of this file, the way to make it readable (you said PERFECTLY readable, and I called it JUST SOMEHOW readable) is to convert it onto B/W first and then read it on your JBC. Your post # 116 states: "better I will convert into B/W document and read it on my JBC well".
So I even wouldn't discuss any further HOW JBC displays the colors. In my opinion, it is better not to display colors AT ALL (just keep everything in B/W) than displaying the colors the way JBC does it.
And again, the way my JBC (and it looks like yours, too) displays the colors with NORMAL (average) light condition is MUCH different from the picture of JBC from Ectaco's website http://www.ectaco.com/jetBook_Color/

P.S. Lets just simply assume for now that COLOR eInk technology IN PRACTICE is still not available at the moment.
