I think this is right: what is the meaning of theses colors? I have troubles to see what the buttons do so I have either to read or to strongly focus on the small symbol in the button. The one before where very readable I think. Reproducible: Always
system icons smaller than <= 22px are monochrome (e.g. panel, status bar, ...) and >= 32px colored. So the icons are easy to recognize in small size.
fixed with this commit https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=plasma-framework.git&a=commit&h=e73a82c168ed2e4c16d6b773c8fd33f693c1f9c2
