The first photo shows both in ambient light with the ereader light turned all the way down. It's angled to minimize any glare and shadows on the screens from the window and overhead light.
The second photo shows both in a dark room with their lights at maximum and the third shows them with their lights at 30% for the Kobo and at 12 for the Paperwhite. When I tried to put both ereader's lights at 1/3, the light intensity did not match and I figured it was better to try and match equal light intensities. I think the colour casts noticeable in the photos are mostly from the camera, since I can't see any colour casts in the Aura H2O and the ones in my KPW2 are barely noticeable normally.

That screen looks really lovely to me. Just a touch of yellow, but in a way that makes the screen look warm and nice. On my computer, Josie's looked significantly more yellow than this one.
So much of it is personal preference, of course. I know with the PW2's the screen tints varied widely. I had some that were very white and some that were more cream. It's a shame when one has a preference and gets a tint they aren't partial to. I think when you have other e-readers and compare the screens side by side, it just ends up making it worse as well.
For instance, when I first got my PW2 and compared it to my PW1, the screen on my PW2 looked yellow and I was pretty disappointed. I kept it though as the screen was otherwise perfect. I then sold back my PW1 and since I had nothing to compare my PW2 screen to after that, the more I used it, the screen ended up looking totally fine to me. In fact, it looks awesome to me now.
