Nobody wants that, indeed :-)

Correct. If you want to go through KColorScheme, you can use

KColorScheme plasmaColorTheme = KColorScheme(QPalette::Active,         
           KColorScheme::View, Plasma::Theme::self()->colors());

QColor inactiveColor = 
           plasmaColorTheme.foreground(KColorScheme::InactiveText).color();

With the standard colorscheme those two

QColor text = Plasma::Theme::self()->textColor();
QColor background = lasma::Theme::self()->backgroundColor();

makes text white and background black. 


Which version of Plasma are you using?
