Sure, but you can also have contrast with a dark background that isn't constantly shooting a third of the photons your screen can generate (or more, since in some screens blue pixels are the largest), and the most energetic at that, at your eyes... high contrast themes tend to have a black background (not a gray one like most dark themes) precisely as a way to maximise contrast...
