SUMMARY
After the latest updates to the breeze theme, now the "breeze dark" icon for folders follows the accent color of either theme or wallpaper. This might look reasonable if one selects the default breeze colors, but if one selects a dark theme, the folder icons become too dark to the point that they are hard to see (and look quite ugly too).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Settings -> Appearance -> Icons -> select "Breeze Dark".
2. Go to Settings -> Appearance -> Colors -> Use accent color -> select "From current color scheme".
3. Install some good color themes for dark settings, such as "Obsidian Coast" or "Dark Obsidian" (from the button "Get New Color Schemes" in this same section).
4. Apply said theme. For worst results, use "Dark Obsidian" in combination with the "breeze" application style and "breeze dark" icons.

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons for folders are hard to distinguish, and look bad.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons for folders should not adapt their color based on themes. Or, at the very least, if they do, then the "breeze dark" icons sould play along with dark themes.
