Screenshot of Dolphin
Actually when it comes to the Breeze colorized icons for directories, the issue exist in Dolphin too though it may be for different causes. Some directories don't have their icon updated immediately and require you hit F5 to refresh, including the preview in the sidebar if you have a directory selected. Sometimes even if you refresh the old color still appears on directories, in those cases it seems to go away if I navigate to another path then return and refresh after that.
It's not quite a GTK bug; more like a bug in our theming of GTK apps. They don't dynamically reflect accent color changes in real-time and have to be restarted first. Related to Bug 438110; possibly the exact same issue, in that fixing that might fix this automatically. Thanks for clarifying. Please take a look at my last comment too, I seem to have ended up reporting two bugs in one due to them appearing the same: Dolphin also forgets to update the icon colors for directories sometimes, apparently when preview is enabled and the folder contains overlays from what I'm noticing in my own screenshot. That's a separate issue: Bug 414097. Created attachment 152528 [details]
screenshot of Brave browser
I experience a similar problem in the header (tab) bar of Brave web browser using system GTK+ theme: sometimes its color changes only partially, sometimes it doesn't change at all, until I click on it. Hovering on it also causes a similar partial color change, again until I click on it (as seen in the screenshot).
However, I don't see this in other apps using GTK theme like LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Palemoon web browser, etc. This might be due to each app using GTK+ theme in some different way so that some do experience this problem while some don't???
Correction: Sorry, my previous observations of other apps using GTK+ theme, like LibreOffice and Thunderbird, were apparently misleading probably due to a hardly noticeable color change. I can now confirm that this bug affects them all, although clicking on Thunderbird tab bar doesn't refresh it like Brave browser. This appears to have been resolved now for all apps like Brave and Thunderbird other than Dolphin - failing to refresh folder color automatically when accent color changes due to wallpaper change slideshow.
