In the attached pictures, the A5 is on the left with the red wrist strap. It is the exact same book, same page, same reading app, same font size... The photos were taken inside on a cloudy day with indoor lights off.

The images are much appreciated! Seems like the CC has a bluish hue even in the classic BW mode. I imagine that would be annoying in the long run. While you are correct in that the contrast looks really good when the frontlight is on, I think my eyes would tire from the constant lumination!
The only things I would "need" colour for are pictures and maybe video calls - though the latter would probably not work well anyway. The more I think about it the less I feel I need colour: I'd rather watch pictures or videos on a bigger screen anyway.
Unless it's true that Hisense will release a new phone on the 22nd of December, I think I'll buy the A5 Pro. The only thing missing from it are Google Play services, which I need for my banking apps (however, if GAPPS can be installed on the Onyx device that I've ordered I won't even need that).
From what I've seen, which admittedly isn't much (the phone doesn't seem popular enough for too many youtube videos), the A5 Pro has everything I want in a phone, except warm frontlight (though neither does my Kindle Paperwhite and it isn't a huge deal - still better than an LCD with warm night light).
