Settings -> Color Scheme -> Breeze Dark 2. Look at UI icons (check screenshot) OBSERVED RESULT The icons color is black when Dark scheme is selected EXPECTED RESULT The icons color has to be changed to white when Dark scheme is selected SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Works for me. Are you using the color scheme setting in Kate itself, or in System Settings?
This is on Windows :) I think the problem is that on windows we bundle only the breeze icon-set and not the breeze-dark icons... And I'm not totally sure how the color scheme changing effects the icon theme...
This bug is affecting me and I did a bit of digging. The Breeze icons are packaged into bin/data/icontheme.rcc on Windows. Looking at the Breeze icons framework build system, this RCC file only contains the default Breeze light theme. Looking at the Craft blueprint for the Breeze icons framework, it registers a useBreezeDark option. This leads me to believe that that dark icon theme is a compile time option and Kate for Windows only ships with the default light theme. Moreover, looking at kiconthemes, it only supports loading one RCC file for icons. It looks like a new feature would be needed to support multiple icons themes on Windows that can be modified at runtime. As a first step, could we not package both light and dark RCC files? These will be needed once switching at runtime is supported in any case. That way, a user could rename the files to switch between icon themes. As a second step, proper runtime switching of icon themes should be implemented.
It seems that a fix is underway. See the following discussions for more information. https://phabricator.kde.org/D24989 https://phabricator.kde.org/D25119
This is now fixed, new version of Kate are in the store and on binary-factory.kde.org.
