+### 3.1.2 Monochrome displays
+
+Most widgets work on monochrome displays if color settings are left at default
+values. If a color is specified, drivers in this repo will convert it to black
+or white depending on its level of saturation. A low level will produce the
+background color, a high level the foreground. This can produce a surprise on
+ePaper units where the foreground is white.
+
+At the bit level `1` represents the foreground. This is white on an emitting
+display such as an OLED. On a Sharp display it indicates reflection. On an
+ePaper display it represents black. Given that `1` is the foreground color,
+explicitly specifying `BLACK` on an ePaper will produce `0` as black has (very)
+low saturation. In this context the resultant physically white background
+color may come as a surprise.
+
+In general the solution is to leave color settings at default.

 ## 3.2 Label class
 
-This supports applications where text is to be rendered at specific screen
-locations.
+The purpose of a `Label` instance is to display text at a specific screen
+location.
 
 Text can be static or dynamic. In the case of dynamic text the background is
 cleared to ensure that short strings cleanly replace longer ones.
