On second thought, no KPalette and lets not put this in KColorScheme.

Proposed header attached. In addition, KGlobalSettings should get 
contrastF, such that:
KColorShades(foo) == KColorShades(foo, KGlobalSettings::contrastF())

...for styles that want to fiddle with the system contrast (Ion will 
/probably/ do this, but might not. Phase did it in KDE3 but I haven't 
checked what it does in KDE4.)
