Even today the white starts out as pure white and turns gray due to the layers of plastic between the user and the actually E-Ink layer. These layers provide protection from UV and other useful functions. I suspect the color will be subdued for the same reason (washed out to use your term). From what I understand these color screens will use 4 E-ink drops to do color. Green-white, red-white, blue-white, and black-white. Note that the white instead of traditional off (black) in an LCD display. This is an attempt to make the display as bright as possible.

I'd imagine that since we're dealing with reflected light instead of emitted light that the colors used would be more in line with a subtractive color model. Something closer to CMYK instead of RGB.
