To me if the Nexus One makes things look different to the majority of other Android devices then that's an issue with the Nexus One.
I'm sure I'm not alone in creating UI designs which will look good on a majority of Android devices as opposed to trying to get something which looks good on a calibrated monitor and the Nexus One, but looks washed out on almost every Android device consumers currently have. It sounds like we may be looking at another vector of fragmentation, which is disappointing, especially as most of us have yet to see a 2.1 SDK to investigate any available options available for dealing with the different colour reproduction on a Nexus One.
