I suppose they could replace the "white" side with the colours, so that the black will be as dark as it is now, but then the "white" will be a darker grey, and the contrast will suffer again.

As you say, we'll have to wait and see, but it's fun to guess.
The underlying ink is still black and white. The color filters tint them, so now it's red and black, green and black, and blue and black. Color eink also has a "clear" color filter to improve the white level.
