Also, the paper white has browner tinted background while keyboard has note neutral if not slightly bluish gray.

I agree the KK has a more bluish grey and the PW2 is a more yellow/brown, but I found that in daylight conditions, the PW2 screen looked considerably better. Strangely, in duller conditions, the KK looked better? I took a photo comparing them both with my Sony 350 and you can clearly see the improvements between them.

I'd expect the Aura H20 to look a little better than the PW2 because of that side effect as you say. Amazon have done a pretty good job with the Paperwhite though, and it shows where Kobo can make an improvement with the smaller Aura. It seems pretty clear the H20 will have the best screen of all though, but that's no surprise as the Aura HD looked pretty comparable to the PW2 despite having a Pearl screen versus the Carta.
