I am also bothered by the light colors in conjunction with the screen technology used (Mobius).
With the official Kobo sleep cover for a Forma, my handy dandy scale says it weighs 324 grams. Out of curiosity, which 8" screen device do you have that weighs 265 grams in it's cover? Or even without it's cover?

Weird and wonderful that you can see a difference between a colour changing light on a Mobius plastic substrate screen and a colour changing light on a glass substrate screen. Considering the display is opaque so the light never reaches the substrate, a fascinating observation.
