This is the one I had issues with.  The other issue was the (of course 
user settable) transparency, affecting my ability to simply kolorpicker/
kruler my way to a number that I can compare to those in the color 
settings dialog.  But transparency can be killed, temporarily, and the 
color matched then.

In my case the shading issue was (I think) with the oxygen style and the 
colorful scrollbars option.  It took me forever to figure that one out, 
as it didn't match any of the colors in the color-scheme.

What I really miss is the way the titlebar blend worked in kde3 (with, I 
forgot which style, but kde2 window-widget-scheme, IIRC) -- you chose two 
colors and it blended between them.  I really miss the ability, and the 
in-your-face this-IS-two-colors bit, to set the second color directly.

(No time for more. Gotta go now.)
