I accidentally changed some of Kate's default color schemes. How do I set them back to default? I tried reinstalling (including with the option to remove config files) but it kept my changes.

I am on a similar search as you for LaTeX in kile, in my case, and will share my results here. There appear to be two aspects for kate/kile
Schema which is independent of the file being edited; and
Syntax highlighting which is file and language dependent.
One needs both. The syntax highlighting might need tweaking depending on language and keywords used. Indeed it might not exist for some languages.
Over and above this, there is the general KDE theme which includes colour schemes and styles. These are applicable to all application windows. So, there appear to be five components in all:
(a) Theme (b) Colour Scheme (c) Style (d) Kate or Kile schema (e) Kate or Kile syntax highlighting
HTH.
Kate is using now ~/.kde/share/config/katemoderc
From GUI: Kate menu → Settings → Configure Kate... → Editor Component → Open/Save → Modes & Filetypes
Select filetype:
Sources/Fortran, add;*.hto file extensions, raise priority from9to15(Should be ok, Max priority for.hwas inSources/C++which is9)
Close then reopen the files.

The file you need to remove, or edit if you prefer, is:
kateschemearc, which is usually located in a folder like$HOME/.config/(the name of your .kde file may be .kde4 or something similar).Remove that file and all default colour schemes are restored.
