That version of Kakoune emulates custom colour support by setting entries in the 256-colour palette, and Konsole does not support setting the palette, so it just gives you the default palette colours (which start as very dark blue).

Use a different terminal emulator, use a modern version of Kakoune which uses truecolour support, or just set your colour-scheme in the terminal itself, instead of in the applications inside the terminal.
