This is true. When I first got my Pocket Pro and compared it to my Gen3, the background did look darker, but it's just an optical illusion. The darker colored housings seems to make the natural gray background of the eInk screen less noticeable. I think this is why the Bookeen Opus has the darker grey bezel around the screen. That being said, I'm very happy with my color choice.

The pictures I posted were taken under a bright full spectrum craft light (to avoid having my camera's flash go off). So like any other eInk screen, the better your reading light source is, the better the contrast of the screen will look to you.
