I thought I had a work around to see the text on these screens if I couldn't get the same message on my Nexus 7. I am using Screenshot ER and can get a color screenprint from eink. I took on that used light blue and the particular light blue you are using barely shows up there either. Here's one and if you look very carefully you can see the text on the top of the screen, but it's difficult. You can see the CC icon in color so the pic has color. Weird.

Unfortunately is isn't me that chooses that color. Preference colors come with the "system" style and and are not made visible by Android. Neither is that system style itself so I can't inherit from it to change parts of it. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to recreate the entire style from scratch, and that is hard.
I have "fixed" dialog boxes by writing code to go through the layout instructions to find titles and messages and force their color. This isn't an option with preferences because I don't handle their generation.
If companies are going to make e-ink android devices then they should also deal with this problem. One way would be to permit a user to change the color to grey mapping, changing the saturation curve so lighter colors show as darker grey. In any event, this is not a problem that individual applications that run fine on color devices should need to solve.
