I can't recommend colour e-ink. I tried it with already the expectation that it won't be great, but still got disappointed. I went back to my black and white e-reader. The colours are bad and it makes the actual b/w e-ink look worse:
By getting colour e-ink just for the occassional colour page in LNs or manga, you'd be sacrificing all the black and white pages, while not getting a good colour page anyway. They all use the same screens too, so checking out multiple brands doesn't matter.
As for recommendations, I use a b/w Boox e-reader (the Leaf, the 7" screen is almost perfectly sized for manga). It's with Android, so I can use Mihon as well as Bookwalker, Kobo and Kindle (I strip the DRM from my e-books bought with the latter 2 stores though, so I can put it on my Komga server, so I haven't used their apps). Really convenient.
