Yup. Aura H2O has Kobo's first Carta display.
Carta is lighter than Pearl in the general case but there are notable variations between manufacturers, possibly even manufacturing runs. My Aura HD's Pearl panel is almost as light as my Aura ONE's Carta panel whereas my Kindle DX's Pearl panel is almost as dark as my iLiad's first generation panel.
IME, what matters more is font weight. The heavier (more bold) the font, the better the perceived contrast.
