Because the tonal values of the complementary colours are equal;  I did not see a great difference in contrast when placed near the neutral colour.  I did notice the neutral colour’s hue varies seeming warmer inside the square of reddish complimentary, and cooler inside the square of the greenish complimentary colour.
