The only colour eInk display commercially available is the "Triton" screen, which isn't really colour at all; it's a B&W display with a "colour mask" in front of it. Not only does reduce the linear resolution by a factor of two (every "colour" pixel has a 2x2 block of B&W pixels behind it), but the resulting colours are pale and unsaturated. It's been used in a few devices; they aren't terribly good.
