What visual result is intended and esp. why is the Highlight color* used at 
all for a "normal" background instead of QPalette::Base / AlternateBase / 
Window (the regular background roles, depending on the elements "nature")

I.e. can we get rid of the custom palette at all and just pick the proper 
roles or were you rather interested in a shade between QPalette::Window and 
QPalette::Highlight (for what specific reason)
 
*though desaturated, but usually used to stress focus, hover or selection
