Your approach on color is praiseworthy! In structural visual theories there is not enough emphasis on isoluminance or the use of tone in same-value conditions. We find it in simultaneous contrast problem, but we don’t deepen it enough on tonal contrasts (complementary and caloric). The Bauhaus models of color, like the sphere or the circle of color, give us the false impression that the tones are ell arranged on same equatorial plane, at same median level. Actually, not only the neutral greys, but also the saturated tones have a value hierarchy corresponding as isoluminant level to a certain neutral grey. So, in practice, the isoluminant relation is established via complementary mixture of broken tones and colored greys in order to maintain a high level of saturation..
