Parchment is not gray nor is newspaper. Though newspaper might be more gray and parchment. Neither is near as gray as the Sony readers I looked at in the store. And I looked at several just to be sure the first one was not a bad device.

I am not sure I would find them comfortable to read without adding an external light. Maybe the display color is a compromise between the promoted white color and the actual production units to allow for easier reading under the brightest conditions such as outdoors?

I have a sense your response was somewhat defensive and had the need to tell me what my perception of the device should be. Was I not supposed to ask a question about this issue here on this board? If so, very sorry for that.
