It’s basically an unnecessary luxury you get used to having and somewhat miss when you don’t. |

Unfortunately, that luxury comes at the cost of significantly worse contrast, so if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, having colour covers also greatly degrades the actual reading experience. Some people are bothered by the "rainbow" effect of the colour matrix when reading greyscale content, and others are not. YMMV.

But is Kaleido a success?
It's a niche in a niche. |

Onyx, Pocketbook, MobiScribe, Kobo, and possibly others are continuing to release new models with Kaleido 3 panels, so yes, it's a success. Companies don't continue making products unless people are buying them.
