As a programmer, I often have half a dozen Konsole windows on my screen. I like to have different background color on them, so I use the "Black on Light Color" schema as my default. I would like to have a few more of those semi-random color schemas, like "Black on various shades of green", or "white on a fairly dark color". 

The easy way would be to add a few more random hues in the schema editor. 

The more complex way would be to add a way to edit the randomness, for example by choosing two colors, interpolating a line between them, and choosing a random point from that line. But this may be an overkill...

There is already a color-selection box for selecting the custom color. Perhaps it would be possible to choose "Random Hue" to mean some variation around the color chosen there...
