Okay, but this is true of every kind of display out there. None can show pure white, nor pure black, nor some theoretical distribution of colours over the RGB space. They all show something different given the same RGB value (even among identical models). So, I don't think it's fair to single out colour E-Ink for a "claim" that I think exists only in your mind. If it shows a different colour for each of the 4096 RGB combinations, then I'd say it's living up to it's claim of displaying 4096 colours. I do think it's fair to say that the contrast and colour saturation are poor compared to other kinds of displays. No need to bring claims into it at all.
