I wish there was a quality color e-ink offering, that was just a display that displayed art. I’m thinking of something like Netgear’s Meural but with a higher quality display.

Sure I could hack it together myself with an raspberry pi or something, but it would be great to have something that “just worked” that I could put in different rooms around the home.

Agreed. In previous epaper discussions here on HN, people complained that epaper doesn't have enough contrast ratio to make sense as a market. But lower contrast ratios are perfect for things that should not stand out any more than an actual physical paper or canvas would. Ambient artwork and ambient displays are perfect applications for epaper/e-ink.
