Theoretically it does, but in practice it isn't ideal. Let's say you want to
use the standard breeze cursor theme but want the cursor color to be a
different color, for instance light green to improve contrast. As there is
currently no way to natively change color, you have use the "Get new" window to
look through the thousands of cursor themes to find something fitting and for
my example you would still come up short. With a quick search I found some
breeze themes with different color outlines, but not body.  Of course you could
also copy the breeze icon theme and change the body color in the SVG(?) and
therefore get to the wanted outcome, but no non geeky user will do that.
That's why I propose that next to the current options of setting the cursor
size, there should be an option to set cursor color. This color selector would
probably only work for the breeze cursors and would be disabled (grayed out or
whatever) for any non default cursor themes. If someone wants to change the
color of a non default cursor theme, they can use the theming options. But for
a normal user that is just rolling with Plasma defaults, there should in my
opinion be an easy way to do this.  
Windows is btw. in the same situation, they support (legacy support in an old
menu, but support) cursor themes as well as "natively" changing cursor color
and size. I just tried it out and changing the size or color with a custom
theme applied, just defaults the cursor back to the standard one with the
changed size or color applied. That is not the most elegant solution but it
works.
