With Oasis in the line up, that seems unlikely. The Kindle e-ink market isn't as large as the smartphone or even colour tablet/fire categories. Amazon doesn't make significant money on Kindle hardware.

I was holding out some hope that Amazon's 2013 acquisition of Liquavista, which were pushing to bring colour e-ink to market ten years ago might spawn a colour e-ink Kindle. But Amazon closed down Liquavista in 2018 and don't appear to be pursing colour e-ink at this time. Unless Kindle e-book sales flag, Amazon seems content with the current hardware line up.
