Not everyone buys the e-reader with the highest resolution, the best contrast and fantastic sharpness, which is why there is such a wide variety of models on the market. Many other factors come into play, and colour is the most important one for those who ultimately decide to buy a colour e-reader.

I have always said that colour e-readers are not for everyone, but also that many people would have no problem using them if they knew about them. I have not changed my mind on this. Personally, I use both monochrome and colour e-readers interchangeably. I do not consider them incompatible.
But there is no reason to replace BW Readers with color Readers. Not everyone wants a color Reader. I don't. I have no need for one. So sure make color Readers. But also make BW Readers.
