--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
One of the benefits of Plasma's customizability is that you can satisfy your
own aesthetic preferences; it's simple to switch to different Plasma and icon
themes if you don't like the defaults. This might be what you're looking for:

Beyond that, I'm not unsympathetic to the argument that flat monochrome icons
aren't the prettiest out there. They're not my favorite either. I'm quite fond
of ElementaryOS's icons, which I think perfectly thread the needle between
simplicity and beauty. I think they're really classy and have presence and
style without being overwhelming when a ton of them are visible at once. The
Breeze icon theme's colorful icons are in that ballpark, though not quite as
good IMO. One of my goals is to move the colorful icons slowly in that
direction.

What you're proposing amounts to not using any flat monochrome icons anymore.
There are more than a thousand of these and replacing them all with redesigned
colorful icons would be both an enormous amount of work, and also represent a
significant design change. As such, the request goes significantly beyond the
scope of a bug report. I would encourage you to get involved with the KDE VDG
(Visual Design Group), which is where we determine the visual direction of the
default settings.
