Yeah. I finally figured it out by message #165 in this thread. Sorry for being so dense.

The Tolinos and (judging by pictures) the PocketBooks work like the Nook. I think the hardware in the Clara is the same as in the Shine 3, yet the Shine 3 produces an oranger screen than the Tolino Vision 4 or Epos. So, it seems, the Clara's hardware should be capable of producing and un-faded screen. It almost has to be software. So Kobo must have chosen to do it this way... buy why?

(Sorry for the slight fisheye. My Pixel is being weird.)

It is obvious. The picture on the right reminds me of my Tolinos (the ones with the Smart Light feature). Like the Nook Glowlight 3, the 6" Tolinos with Smart Lights have 13 LEDs, 7 show up as white and six show up as yellow/orange. The only difference is, the Tolinos' lights are at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top, like the Nook Glowlight 3.
