I find lots of colors look different on different android devices. For example, if I set #fff8f5ea as the background color of a View and run the app on different devices, I can easily tell the difference between them. Any body have the same problem? Does anyone know why?

Besides the manufacturer or store tweaking the color settings, there are another two main reasons why the colors reproduced on different devices look very different: The first reason is that the color mixing theory behind each kind of devices is different, and the second is mainly due to mass production variation.
Under Android Accessibility settings, you'll find the Grayscale setting under Screen colors under the Vision menu. If this is enabled, disable it to see if it fixes your screen color issue. Double-check you haven't inverted colors.
A monitor or TV screen generates three colors of light (red, green, and blue) and the different colors we see are due to different combinations and intensities of these three primary colors. Each pixel on a computer screen is composed of three small dots of compounds called phosphors surrounded by a black mask.
Every piece of hardware will render the primary colours used in the individual pixels at different intensities.
The display driver also implements colour profiles, sometimes user definable, which alter those intensities.
I can load an image on my Galaxy S3 and chose a different profile under Settings->Display->Screen mode to render the image in different colour spaces.
