I observed something about icons and text, per colors. Under 48px sizes... Some of the best icon libraries i have used rarely come in black color, most of them come in a really dark shade of blue, but in one way or another a lighter form of black. This observation i carried on for years, along side my personal experience let me to this theory; These icon-creators actually anticipate those icons to be used alongside a black-text, or a darker shade text [ compared to the icon's color ] at least. And the color they chose, is the right fit for a black text, which looks to me, better than a black icon beside a black text [ as i have shown in the image below ]. Takeaway... Icons, should be a just little larger than the corresponding text per size [ or whatever already works for you ], but their colors should be a little lighter, however you may achieve this [ maybe using the opacity, or an entirely different hexcode, only to mention a few methods ]. Doing this that brings about some kind of subtle visual balance that i can not particularly express in logic. I'm using icons from @huge_icons for this example. The first is the default color and the last is outright black.
