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.

Actually according to an
older press release, color will be achieved using a RGBW [alternating] color filter... which is similar to how it's done with other display technologies (though the white, or rather "clear" filters are added to improve contrast). So the actual eInk microcapsules would still just contain black and white particles.
