Solid Color as Wallpaper

SUMMARY

I'm unable to set solid color wallpaper to hex color #070400. Everytime I set it up in settings or even modying plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc the resulting color as wallpaper is #000000


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click -> Desktop and Wallpaper 
2. Wallpaper type -> Solid Color
3. Set Solid color Hex to #070400 -> Click OK -> Apply

OBSERVED RESULT
Color set is #000000 instead of #070400

EXPECTED RESULT
Wallpaper color should be #070400 instead of #000000

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0

#070400 is *almost* completely black, so it's possibly you aren't noticing the difference between #070400 and #000000.

Please paste the output of running `grep "Color=" ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` in a terminal window. If it says "Color=7,4,0", then it did in fact apply the color you requested, and if the result doesn't look like how you expect, you should choose a different color. :)

$ grep "Color=" ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
Color=7,4,0
Color=237,222,187

KcolorChooser says the background is #000000 and is not #070400. In fact I've set up a video with a wallpaper image scaled keeping proportionts whose background is #070400, and I have set up background to #070400 to match wallpaper but is not working. Background solid color is #00000.

I've added a video showing the wallpaper image scaled and the background.

I can confirm that Plasma thinks it applied #070400, but KColorChooser reports it as actually being #000000. How strange.

With the fix for Bug 491633 applied, I can no longer reproduce this issue, so it looks like that was the cause all along!
