SUMMARY After the upgrade to KDE Frameworks 5.88, some emblem icons (including the emblems on folder icons) have inverted colors. This looks really weird and also is broken in some programs (ex. QuasselIRC). This doesn't affect the icon picker itself, in which icons look the same on both color schemes (expected result). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change the system color scheme to Breeze or Breeze Light. 2. Create a folder. 3. Set it's icon to, for example, 'folder-music' via the Properties menu in Dolphin. 4. Notice how the icon looks normal. 5. Change the system color scheme to Breeze Dark. OBSERVED RESULT The emblem on the folder icon has inverted colors. EXPECTED RESULT The emblem on the folder icon stays the same.

Looks like there are a few issues here. The colorful folder emblem is one. The monochrome icons being inverted is probably Bug 445489. Let's use this to track the issue of the emblems changing color unexpectedly, which I can reproduce.
...Unless that was an intentional change, of course. Hopefully Andreas Kainz can confirm.
If this is intentional, then the bug is that the icon picker isn't consistent with the change. I honestly hope it's not. I'd get used to it, but it does look worse in my opinion.

I think it's a mix between breeze-icons from QuasselIRC and maybe some broken behavior about icon theming within QuasselIRC. Will check if I can help aththe QuasselIRC issues.
> QuasselIRC has more than one issue. it's a QuasselIRC issue not an breeze-icon issue. Sorry
Sounds like this is intentional, then. Please feel free to file a separate bug on the icon picker window mentioning that the emblem color *doesn't* change when it should. You would file that on frameworks-kiconthemes. Thanks!
