The 4096 is a mathematical maximum number of possible values set by splitting the underlying "16" levels with R, G and B.
It is not possible to add more layers? If not (I am expecting it), why not?

And, just to be sure I understood well your explanation, are we sacrificing levels of grey for colours?

I am wondering now how it will be to use the colour eInk without having the frontlight turned on. Maybe it is not even possible.
