There is no official palette, afaik. There are several, depending on theme.
I somewhat doubt a bomberman clone works without more agressive &
bright colors than a typical KDE desktop offers, though.

I have to admit that I have come to loathe the Tux references. A mascot
is nice and all that, but the artwork is often uninspired. This has left a
bad taste in my mouth. OTOH, there are some great artists, maybe
this _can_ work. And if I don't like it, I will just use another theme :)

Sure. 'Start game' and, in the settings, a list with game modes. Only if
you edit those will you be exposed to the underlying settings.
