colours ... yes, this is a good use case indeed. something i haven't gotten 
around to yet is exploring the possibility of making a custom KColorScheme 
available which reads out of a config file with the theme if it is there..

hm.. how about this instead: Plasma::Theme::colorScheme() which, first time it 
is called, initializes a KColorScheme object using a config file in the theme 
if it exists (themerc?) or else the global one.... that would do what you 
want, yes?

we also need this in the taskbar.
