A pack of 220 KD3 color schemes I made over a year and a half ago. After all this time they are still at the top position among the most rated at kde-look.org with over 20.000 downloads, something that makes me really proud. I'm not sure what kind of reception are they going to get here but I decided to upload them anyway. Please :+fav: if you download, thanks!. Original description follows:

Ultra Series - 220 Color schemes pack (v3.2)

This pack includes mostly non-generic schemes, fully compatible with Domino but also usable with Glow, Powder and Serenity.

Installation. Extract the content of the tarball to $home/.kde/share/apps/kdisplay/color-schemes.

Usability:

* Fonts. Besides the window decoration, the overall look depends mostly on the font combination you use, thus load some programs and try them out first. Alt+F2 -> colors. Select scheme, press Alt+A to try them.

* Backgrounds. Non-white background schemes. Each scheme displays a 3-column icon. The middle column represents the background color. Some applications, most noticeable Konqueror and OpenOffice, use this color for documents and webpages. If this is not the desired effect, this is how to fix it:

OpenOffice -> Options -> Appearance -> Document background.
Konqueror-> Configure -> CSS -> Use accessibility style-sheet -> Black on white.

* Button colors. These schemes are meant to be used primarily with a dark button/light text combination, Glow inherits this color by default, the same effect can be achieved by customizing Domino. As always, it all depends on what you like.

* Konqueror troubleshooting. Konqueror doesn't always display colors the way it should. An easy way to avoid complications is to use a background image instead of a color. I was careful with the integration between background colors and alternative background colors, (this is noticeable when you use programs with list-view modes: Amarok, Gwenview, Dolphin, Kget, etc.) nevertheless this is a limitation imposed by Konqueror and probably the main reason why some users tend to avoid darker schemes.

* Gamma correction. I use my monitor with a default 6500K/2.0 gamma setting, some non-calibrated monitors might require a slight adjustment in order to display properly the darker schemes.

KControl -> Peripherals -> Monitor & Display -> Color & Gamma.

Changelog:
2008.03.28. Final update, 63 schemes were retouched.
2008.01.30. I added to the pack 135 color schemes, rewrote and expanded the description.
2008.01.24. 82 color schemes added, total of 85 plus the original scheme. Created pack, rewrote and expanded description, added new screenshots.
