SUMMARY
Plasmoids are not colorschema aware. With some colorspaces, this leads to extremely poor contrast which in many cases render the plasmoid functionality unusable.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Adopt a colorschema as this: https://store.kde.org/p/1265969/ and a desktop theme such as this: https://store.kde.org/p/1252412/
2. Try using a plasmoid or KRunner (for example make a quick calculation).
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Using the colorschema noted above, the selector color is dark blue and the text color is black, creating an extremely poor contrast.

EXPECTED RESULT
The text color should change to that of a selected text, just as menu items of Plasma applications.
