Ermine is as true a fur as vair.

It's in the text I quoted and you re-quoted:
2. Armorial Contrast. - All armory must have sufficient contrast
to allow each element of the design to be clearly identifiable
at a distance.
... Furs equally divided of light and dark pieces, such as
vair, are classed with other evenly divided elements, such as
paly, per bend, or lozengy.
a. Contrasting Tinctures - Good contrast exists between: ...
ii. An element equally divided of a color and a metal, and
any other element as long as identifiability is
maintained;
So vair is neutral. You merely can't put things on it that contain
blue or white.
