Impossible, this would require adding a dependency on KConfig for KGuiAddons.

It wouldn't:  KConfig | <whatever contains KColorScheme> | KIconThemes => tier3

Unless KColorScheme is moved "up" to KIconThemes, but I don't know if this makes
sense for other users of KColorScheme.

Or KColorScheme is moved "down" to KConfig, but it also uses kcolorutils
from KGuiAddons so that's not an option.

It would be, if it wasn't built on top of KConfig.
