> tell me what they should be using

When using QPalette, only the following combinations are allowed (Fg on Bg):

    WindowText on Window (window surface, usually black on gray)
    Text on Base (input fields, usually black on white)
    Text on AlternateBase (for alternating row coloring, usually black on light
gray)
    HighlightedText on Highlight (selections, usually white on blue)
    ButtonText on Button (usually black on gray)
    ToolTipText on ToolTipBase (usually black on yellow)

Some more foreground colors exists (BrightText, Link, LinkVisited), but since
it is unclear to which background they apply, you should not use them.

Additionally, be careful when mixing different color groups (Disabled, Active,
Inactive). You cannot assume that a Disabled foreground is visible on an Active
background color, for example. If in doubt, use reduced alpha for less
important items, instead of possibly using an unreadable combination.

If you need more control for color combinations, use KColorScheme.
