  Since there's been mention about aligning Kirigami and re: the (IMHO) 
controversial approach of using foreground (text) colours for background 
purposes:
  
  Have you guys considered using the 4 colours in question only for the message 
text and outer frame, keeping the background intact (or possibly just a bit 
lighter or darker depending on its initial brightness and/or the theme/user's 
contrast setting)? The result should be more subtle and more reliably as 
readable as allowed by the theme.
  
  I've done a very quick assessment, using the 0.2 alpha to darken dark window 
backgrounds and brighten light window backgrounds (using QColor::darker and 
QColor::lighter) which gives
  
  F6005564: image.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6005564>
  
  That's Breeze vs. Breeze Dark vs. my custom theme.
  
  two observations:
  
  - lighter background colours are brightened less progressively to avoid 
hitting pure white too quickly
  - a hair-thin black outline for the text could increase readability for some 
combinations but appears to be impossible with stylesheets. (This is true in 
general, not just for this experiment.)
