screenshot of my panel

Currently, in the Breeze icon set, the System Settings icon and Konsole icon have similar background color. This makes it bit difficult to visually distinguish when both these icons are present in, say, the icons task manager. 
In task manager, since all icons are small in size, the only way to visually differentiate them is through their background colour. But, since both these icons are black in colour, it takes some effort in distinguishing them.

Would be great if either one of them are changed. 

I am attaching the picture of my desktop to indicate the difficulty.

Forgot to add the comment. Thought apart from the screenshot of the smaller region, I can add the screenshot of the larger desktop to show that at this scale distinguish konsole and system-settings icons becomes really difficult.

in general you have right but there are some icons with the same background and have one nearly black and another app icon dark gray with bit of green would look more confuse.

I would switch the konsole icon to the yakuake one but as the konsole icon is well know I also don't want to change something.

So I leave it as it is but I give you right.
