Apple may have started it when they broke the "Beige" mold, years ago.
Just walk into any store selling modern portable (and not so portable) Electronics.
Phones, Laptops, Media Players, even Headsets: COLOR
Black is so Henry Ford 
The Factory (and Astak) need to come up with another way to Badge (brand) the products that does not require custom silk screening of the cases.
That is what requires big lots of each color for a single distributor to keep the price point.
2 tone might work.  The Back and Battery cover always the same (a Neutral color), with only the front, being the custom color. |
Perhaps given the now situation of only Black and White being produced the only real option is for skins for the PP (like the Decalgirl skins, unfortunately they don't have any for the 5" or 6" Astak readers). But that could be a conceivable option.
Another potential could be (kind of redundant on the PP) but coloured silicon covers. I think after what Robert has been saying I get the strong feeling any colouring options could only be successfully done after-sale ie: people buy then change the colour.
