Having had to reinstall my OS after messing up the root partition it was installed on, I've been re-configuring my KDE Plasma installation to follow the theme I used prior. As a disclaimer, I've gone out of my way to change some of the default configuration Artix uses for its Artix-dark theme, such as switching to qt5ct over gtk for the global style.
Currently, I cannot seem to figure out why Dolphin refuses to use the accent colour I've configured for Plasma as the colour for folder icons. Below I have the accent colour set to be the same from the Artix-dark colour scheme, whereas folders within Dolphin refuse to change colour from blue.

How could I figure out what's causing Dolphin to force its accent colour?
It's deprecated upstream, see the packages to avoid section (https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations). You may gain some more insight reading our wiki article (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Troubleshooting#When_I_switch_theme_in_Plasma.2FMATE.2FXFCE.2FAnyDEorWM_the_colours_are_broken.21). Also a note to myself to remove it from our ISO profiles.
Wow, I see. Removing qt5ct altogether fixed this immediately. Thanks.
