[Breeze] Please bring back the *iconic* colors of the Kickoff menu

Hello, after upgrading my Manjaro system to KDE Plasma 5.7.5 the colors for
the categories in the K-Menu were gone. Now it's pretty dismal looking. You
have alternated the icons for Favorites, Applications, Computer, History
and Leave to just colorless forms in black and white. The former
distinctive colors red (Favorites), blue (Applications), green-yellowish
(Computer), black (History) and purple (Leave) were a visually great accent
to quickly remember and to find what you were looking for. But even more
bitter is the change for the session and system actions under Leave: Lock,
Logout, Switch User, Suspend, Hibernate, Reboot and Shut Down all had a
color assignment. Now, when I click Reboot I need to actually need to read
the text on the 30 sec graphic to make sure that I didn't accidentally
choose Shut Down. And yes, it's not convenient. The colors were a clear
sign what to choose. Even more, the color made the menu looking nice and
'tasty'. They made a friendly playful look without being a teletubby piece.
I could switch to Oxygen or another design but I really like your work on
Breeze. And that's why I write to you. You don't improve Plasma by removing
colors. Please don't follow macOS and Windows 10 this path.
Sincerely,
a fan
