Of course by this time the ship had already been taking on water and a color change wasn't going to solve the problems Nook was facing.

I can't speak for the device being too cold as I live in Texas. But I seem to remember them quoting some research when they introduced the Nook Glowlight with its white bezel. It's less distracting to the reader, I believe was their claim.
