I didn’t find in Godot settings where I can change it
(meaning the colors of the icons in the Scene panel, for nodes such as Sprite2D or Camera3D)

I guess it can be changed here:

github.com

godotengine/godot/blob/b9f2e57d6240346f1833fd0390de195c956299e7/editor/editor_themes.cpp#L122-L184


      
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#e0e0e0", "#5a5a5a"); // common icon color
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#ffffff", "#414141"); // white
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#b4b4b4", "#363636"); // script darker color
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#f9f9f9", "#606060"); // scrollbar grabber highlight color
          
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#cea4f1", "#a85de9"); // animation
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#fc9c9c", "#cd3838"); // spatial
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#a5b7f3", "#3d64dd"); // 2d
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#708cea", "#1a3eac"); // 2d dark
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#a5efac", "#2fa139"); // control
          
          		// rainbow
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#ff7070", "#ff2929"); // red
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#ffeb70", "#ffe337"); // yellow
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#9dff70", "#74ff34"); // green
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#70ffb9", "#2cff98"); // aqua
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#70deff", "#22ccff"); // blue
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#9f70ff", "#702aff"); // purple
          		ADD_CONVERT_COLOR(dark_icon_color_dictionary, "#ff70ac", "#ff2781"); // pink

in lines 133-140, but will it need to be self-assembled from source?

How else can you do it?

P.S.: I still hope that I missed something, and in fact it can be done much easier

Why do you want to change them?

For me, it’s a matter of comfort. Something similar to replacing colors in the code editor

Doesn’t solve the problem, but is currently the only alternative:

Editor → Editor Setting → Interface → Theme → Icon Saturation = 0
