KDE stuff should be using KColorUtils, unless you're actually doing 
hue-shifts (but I would question *why* you would want to do those in a 
style...). KCU provides several ways to fiddle with luma and chroma, 
which are the preferred knobs to adjust.

Well, the way a progress bar would do this is paint the part over 
Highlight with HighlightText, and the part over Base with Text.

Not sure how well it works with fills oriented longwise, but to be 
honest I always thought that was a bad idea to begin with :-).
