WillG, I can see green, yellow and pink in your photo. Mine does not look quite as bad, but bad enough. As one of the people who went through a number of PW2s and whole bunch of PW1 replacements, I must say that the font is much, much closer to the surface in comparison to them (but not compared to my K4B), much less fuzzy, and much darker. I have a hard time imagining going back to my less than perfect PW2 now, but I also can't stomach paying around $240 (once I remove SO and get a cover) for a rainbow device. I am really torn.
Two more things I noticed:
1) I have a
gap on the back of the device, at the top in the left corner, where the glossy material meets the rubbery. It is pronounced enough that the device sometimes makes a weird cracking sound when I use the power button, but not always. I wonder if this cause cause problems later down the road.
2) I constantly
flip pages when grabbing the device by the bezel. Because there are no physical buttons, this is much harder to avoid than on the K4B for instance, and it drives me NUTS.

No. I noticed it as soon as i took it out of the box during daylight

Hoping they have not failed to wire them up everywhere they'd be useful, and not just for 'turning pages'.

No. It only seems to work in books. I tried to use it in the store and on my home screen and in the browser, and nada, not even a haptic feedback.
