SUMMARY
The color scheme previews at the Colors KCM are inaccurate. They pull the disabled text color and the hovered button border colors from the currently applied color scheme, not from their own.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Appearance -> Global Theme -> Colors
2. Create a new color scheme where you change the following colors to something noticeable, for example radioactive green:
    - Common Colors -> Inactive Text
    - Common Colors -> Selection Background
3. Apply the modified theme

OBSERVED RESULT
See the attachment.

EXPECTED RESULT
Color previews should pull these colors from their own palette, not from the currently active color scheme.

lol can reproduce
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2022-07-13 20:33:41 UTC
It seems like the problem is somewhere here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/kcms/colors/package/contents/ui/main.qml#L402

After a few tries, I can't figure out what it is though.
Comment 3 Janet Blackquill 2022-07-13 20:56:09 UTC
Oops, this looks like it'll definitely be harder than it would initially seem to fix due to the nature of how we're passing colours to QML and how that interacts with modifier states like disabled and hovered. On it, though.
