One of my favorite new features in Plasma 5.23.3 is the new accent colors. Seriously, thank you for implementing this! It finally saves me from having to create and maintain a dozen copies of each color scheme just to customize the highlight of every item in each.

I had only one request for a minor change regarding it: May we be be allowed to customize the presets to our own colors of choice? You only have a few options on that bar at the top of the window, which are good enough in my book to be fair, still Iā€™d like the ability to set them to my own custom colors and tweak the brightness and saturation. It would be nice if we could even as little as a config file (eg: ~/.config/plasma/accentcolors.cfg) where we can set the hex codes of the colors available there (currently 10 presets).

For clarification since this was brought up elsewhere: I know the selection color can be customized in the color schemes as before. This is solely about the new accent colors independent of color scheme: You now have those colored circles in the top bar where you can click on to pick one, I wanted to know if the colors you have available there can be customized by the user or will be hard coded into KDE forever.
