Perceived is not objective. Perceived is opinion. Having followed several discussions over bezel colour having an effect, it would appear that some people think it has an effect, other people think it doesn't have an effect and a third group decorate their devices with various colourful skins and don't seem to notice any effect.
The only objective fact I found was that an ereader with a bezel that reflected more light than the "white" portion of the eInk display caused the eInk background to be perceived as light gray. That is pretty easy to demonstrate -- put a chunk of standard printer paper (around 92% reflectance) on an eInk display and it does make the 70% (minimum) reflectance of the eInk display look grey.
