The use of the color is quite different from a regular character, so measuring by the same yardstick makes no sense. This is a blob of color, not just some thin lines.

At least on Twitter.com, they're not characters, they're SVG images.

Maybe it differs based on the browser? Shows up as https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f47b.svg to me.

At first, I was thinking that I could see the difference quite clearly between the two colors and I had no clue what you were talking about. Then I hit the "swap colors" button and happened to notice that there was a bunch of text on the left side that I hadn't even seen...
And this is despite that fact that the actual "font color" is #14171A with excellent contrast: https://contrast-ratio.com/#%2314171A-on-white
But these bizarre characters don't respond the text color and thus utterly unpredictable in their legibility.
