I see. You're clearly knowledgeable in this area and my naively used terminology has misled you. In terms of contrast I'm talking about the simple stuff "Contrast is the difference in luminance..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(vision) whereas you're talking of something typographical I was unaware of. Sorry for the confusion.
In the end, font contrast also involves the simple stuff, but the difference in perceived luminance depends on more than just foreground and background colors.
