Now, if his iPad had had yellow blobs on an otherwise white screen, I think he would've noticed it. That is really the problem -- uniformity.

Personally I would love it if the PW was a bit yellowish instead of bluish. It would make it more comfortable at night (think home vs office lighting) and look more paper like.
This yellow-tint thing was a problem when the iPad 3 first came out, and trust me, it wasn't merely a difference in color temp. It was a distinct yellow tint that affected not only whites, but grays as well (which if you're familiar with iOS is a predominant UI color). But it was also most noticeable once you held it next to another, better iPad, and once noticed, couldn't be un-noticed.

Which I do think is the same here, unless the screen is really terrible.
