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.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to ask you to solve this, I was just letting you know that the ones you fixed looked good. The T62 does a much better job of showing colors than the T68 did so some of the issues are being taken care of. I also just thought it was interesting that on a color screen print that the light blue didn't show up.
