Err, I would rather give more credit to general audience since they should know what dimmer is.

I'll see if I can find a link to their explanation that says the color is dependent on the backlight.
I would appreciate it. However, even such information does not confirm you cannot create color without actual backlight unless it clearly states it.
Since 3Qi is able to reflect light better than any traditional LCD, it may be able to achieve some backlight-like effect just by reflecting light without actual backlight. Of course, this part is my guess from someone who has little knowledge on engineering.
