> Think it's also debatable what value colour brings unless you are regularly reading full colour magazines, PDFs etc.

A photo frame in your home that rotates through a set of photos. My grandmother had one to help her remember her family, but it was an LCD. A color e-ink one would be so much nicer.

Any sort of information panel/dashboard or even just graphs inside education books. There are e-ink screens with only a couple colors (like black, white, red, and yellow), which lets you do things like "make this graph red when my waterheater is broken" but a full-color display opens up the possibilities considerably! For example, having line graphs with multiple lines.

If it was high refresh rate, I would consider it for a computer display for coding. I could never give up syntax highlighting so I need color.
