One that uses a color filter on top of a regular black and white particle display, like in their Kaleido screens. This has a faster refresh rate like black and white displays, but the colors are muted and the screen’s “pure white” is much more gray than other displays.
One that uses four colored particles, cyan, magenta, yellow, and reflective white, like in their Gallery screens. This has a much slower refresh rate, but the colors are vivid and the screen’s “pure white” is just as good as a non-color screen.
