I don't like my eink screens gray - I want them to be whitish. So I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the Libra Colour white enough for my taste in certain conditions. To say nothing of the fact that I absolutely don't need or want color.
Ok, for what it’s worth I tried to recreate that here just now. I took them both to below a bright window and set L2 to 80% as the baseline. The LC maxed at 100% was comparable in brightness, but the L2 was whiter if that difference makes sense.

The LC I’d describe as having more of a warmer quality to the tone, whereas the L2 was a crisper truer whiter white. Both had natural light off.

In comparing ‘whiteness’ of the screen, I can say the L2 is definitely whiter than the LC with backlight on or off. In all honesty, the L2 is whiter than *any* reader I’ve ever used (various kindles, etc.).
