SUMMARY
Hello,
After upgrading to Plasma 6.5.1 I have a strange problem with the blur effect. My contect menu is light blue and I can't find a way to fix it. My panel is light blue as well.

Changing to Breeze doesn't fix the problem:

It's only ok when I disable the Blur effect but it's ugly and want to use the Blur:

1. Turn on the Blur effect and panel and context menus gets Light Blue.
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel and context menus gets Light Blue.

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel and context menus shouldn't get Light Blue.

I have a backup before the update and everything looks as it should:

After I update and the problem appears. Tried both X11 and Wayland and it's the same.

The root cause is Bug 510818. It'll be fixed in Plasma 6.5.2.
