Can't confirm, works for me on Plasma 5.26.5.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-01-23 21:53:30 UTC

This is caused by Kubuntu shipping its own theming for KRunner that overrides the system's color settings. This was fixed by not respecting that overridden theming in Plasma 5.26 and later. I would also recommend that you talk to the Kubuntu folks and ask them to dro it from their packaging, if they haven't already.
