/**
 * A set of methods used to work with colors.
 *
 * KColorScheme currently provides access to the system color palette that the
 * user has selected (in the future, it is expected to do more). As of KDE4,
 * this class is the correct way to look up colors from the system palette,
 * as opposed to KGlobalSettings (such usage is deprecated). It greatly expands
 * on KGlobalSettings and QPalette by providing five distinct "sets" with
 * several color choices each, covering background, foreground, and decoration
 * colors.
 *
 * A KColorScheme instance represents colors corresponding to a "set", where a
 * set consists of those colors used to draw a particular type of element, such
 * as a menu, button, view, selected text, or tooltip. Each set has a distinct
 * set of colors, so you should always use the correct set for drawing and
 * never assume that a particular foreground for one set is the same as the
 * foreground for any other set. Individual colors may be quickly referenced by
 * creating an anonymous instance and invoking a lookup member.
 *
 * @note
 * Historically, it was not needed for applications to give much concern to the
 * state of a widget (active, inactive, disabled) since only the disabled state
 * was different, and only slightly. As a result, the old KGlobalSettings color
 * getters did not care about the widget state. However, starting with KDE4,
 * the color palettes for the various states may be wildly different.
 * Therefore, it is important to take the state into account. This is why the
 * KColorScheme constructor requires a QPalette::ColorGroup as an argument.
 *
 * To facilitate working with potentially-varying states, two convenience API's
 * are provided. These are KColorScheme::adjustBackground and its sister
 * KColorScheme::adjustForeground, and the helper class ::KStatefulBrush.
 *
 * @see KColorScheme::ColorSet, KColorScheme::ForegroundRole,
 * KColorScheme::BackgroundRole, KColorScheme::DecorationRole,
