Try going into the index.theme file and at the end of the Inherits= line, add breeze BEFORE hicolor and reselect the icon theme :)

Reinstall it and relogin your desktop

I have the same issue in KDE 6.
Reinstalling and/or logging out/in and/or rebooting has no influence on the issue.

If helpful to someone who knows more about icon themes, I will mention that if I go into apps/scalable the majority of the .SVG files don't work. Most of them are a few BYTES in size rather than a few KILOBYTES in size.

More or less the same in the apps/symbolic directory. Same in the places/scalable directory. Really about any directory I check is that way.

The versions that are found on KDE Look work just fine for me, but they don't include the variations that the install.sh script produces. I wonder if there's a flaw in the install.sh script here, but I don't really know.

The issue for me was that I was downloading a ZIP file, which didn't support the linked files.

The solution was to download in a format that does support the linked files.

Personally, I used this command:
wget -O - https://github.com/vinceliuice/Colloid-icon-theme/archive/master.tar.gz | tar xz

If this command is required then I suggest either releasing the theme in a tar . gz, or put it in the readme.

Edit: I also tried to use this command but I got a 302 and 200 response
Edit: I couldn't find the releases earlier that was my bad. I retract my comment, but I suggest not releasing in zip then.

I'm having this exact same problem, but on Plasma 5.27 using Kubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. I do exactly as the instructions say, install using ./install.sh. Icons install and are in Plasma Appearance Icons section. Select them, then all of a sudden certain System icons and apps just disappear!?!?! Like Konsole, KDE software store, etc. Just gone. I switch back to another downloaded icon set, no problems. HOW do you fix this? I have already tried reinstalling, logging out, restarting, logging back in and reinstalling. Doesn't fix the problem.

@jollygreen68 , have you tried this command in order to download the files?
wget -O - https://github.com/vinceliuice/Colloid-icon-theme/archive/master.tar.gz | tar xz
The point being to go off a .TAR.GZ file rather than a .ZIP file.

For me, that was the whole issue. Once I downloaded a .TAR.GZ instead of a .ZIP, all worked fine for me.
