Most stuff that needs colour isn't even available for an actual eink Kindle and often needs the 14.25" tablet.

Really depends on how you define "needs color". I've personally read entirely color comics on B&W eInk readers, which I'm sure some would say needs color. Some might say a book with a handful of color illustrations or photos needs color. I can think of a handful of PDFs I've read where the figures legitimately needed color to be able to distinguish between two or more legend items but even then that's a rarity. Usually B&W is good enough.
I do like having color covers during sleep. And it is nicer on comics even if I don't think it's a necessity. But it's nice to have and I don't care as much about the lost contrast or graininess as I thought I would.
