I've been away, for what its worth I posted this to the list a week or so ago but 
it was a follow uyp on an earlier post with perhaps a less related subject. " 
transparent panel and KDM colour"

I'm inclined to hack out a text configuration if it gets me what I want and did so 
here as described in the aforementioned post as follows.... 

I just to follow up on the second part of my question at the beginning of this 
thread with regards to "doing up my own colour in case someone googles into this 
thread looking for a similar solution.

The correct name is color-scheme and they are found 
in /usr/share/apps/color-schemes (on kde4 on Slackware). Thses are text files 
listing colors as RGB colors for the various  display aspects of a window. The 
format is different from the way it was done in kde3 so I couldn't just copy over 
the one I wanted from kde3.

I had used Dark Blue for KDM popup and wanted to continue doing so with kde4. In 
order to do this I renamed an existing kde4 color-scheme and started editing to 
suit using kcolorpicker to help sort out the RGB numbers. I didn't have to change 
much except the background and forground colors under the various headings as KDM 
is a fairly simple interface and I probably won't use this custom color (scheme) 
for anything else.
