I think it's the early Aura ONEs that go red at the extreme end. Later ones like mine, purchased in early 2018, go a deep orange, as depicted on their website. I use this feature daily and am very fond of it.
This observation about the warm front light from reviews was another reason I elected not to purchase a Forma, and believe the Aura ONE to be the superior device. I prefer e-readers to be symmetrical tablets and not have buttons, and I also make use of the ambient light detector regularly. I find the landscape reading setting pointless, since I don't read any PDFs on my e-reader (I prefer to use a tablet for this), and the wider the screen you're reading text on, the more horizontal eye movement is required, which is more taxing than vertical eye movement. I also prefer not to have the accelerometer since I have on occasion rotated the device to inspect an image, and prefer to have it behave like a sheet of paper in this regard. An inability to lock to a specific portrait orientation would just result in unnecessary refreshes, eating into the battery life, which they didn't bother to improve with the Forma, it seems.
One feature I do like about the Forma is the dimmer front light at lower settings, since I never use a brightness of more than 12% on my Aura ONE. The 100% setting is ridiculous for any use except using it as a torch in the event of a power outage at night. Any ambient lighting that would make a 12% level redundant ought to result in the light being turned off completely, imho.
