Don't underestimate the power of artistic inclined programmers gone wild!
For the benefit of my eyesight I'd hereby like to propose:

- Using a generalized way to access the KDE/oxygen palette via enum's similar 
to the Qt ones (the latter are using those brilliant spectral colors that are 
suspected to induce vertigo and eye cancer).

- An additional Krazy capability to check the source code for any colors that 
are not in accordance with the KDE/oxygen palette - especially those colors 
promoted by the Qt API that make you feel like in the late 80ies.
