The Libra Colour needs more frontlight to compensate for the light filtering effect of the colour screen. The 'grey' background should only be detrimental to those who absolutely do not want to use the light, (and, to a certain extent, to those who want to read in *very* bright light, like directly sunlight, where the frontlight does not net bright enough.)
