Something I've picked up from my reading about contrast - that it is not just about colour, but can be contrast in size, style or other aspects of objects.
As I was doing the NED12 exercise of selecting example web sites of high and low contrast, I was looking specifically at colour. The writer at Webreference.com reckons "this sort of contrast is too straightforward and even boring to be useful."
All Graphic Design has listed some other great resources about contrast.
