And Cyan, Yellow or Magenta if perfect are each 2/3rds as bright as white. It's basic physics. Obviously coloured pigments are not as bright as perfect unless they have fluorescent compounds.
It's significant, IMO, that the E Ink company only mentions Retail, Signage etc, and not coloured ereaders. It's very slow and poor brightness without a front light. Indoor Retail display can use mains. Outdoor facing windows will have daylight brighter than most indoor reading ambient light.
Gallery 3 appears to be speeding up Gallery Plus (still very slow) and slightly improving brightness/contrast. It's not going to have more colours. .

Again, AFAIR, they float the CYMW pigments to the top of the capsule so you are not looking through the other pigments. I seem to remember this being mentioned a few months back.
As for your comment about Eink not mentioning ereaders, to quote from an Eink press release (i'm going to assume the direct quote in the second paragraph might be construed as mentioning ereaders:
Quote:
Making color available in eReaders has been a focus of the company for several years. With this announcement, the Company’s flagship color product will now be found in commercially released products that bring together the benefits of both the color offering, while preserving the low power attributes E Ink is known for. Gallery 3 is suitable for eReader and eNote in digital reading, education and textbooks, professional use and even IoT devices.
“E Ink is very excited to have seven major customers announce new products featuring E Ink Gallery 3,” said Johnson Lee, CEO of E Ink. “E Ink Gallery 3 opens up a new chapter in digital reading, offers customers a full color, enhanced reading and shopping experience for eBooks, while offering sustainable reading options. We believe customers who own black and white eReaders will be encouraged to upgrade to a color reading experience with Gallery 3.”
