Is there any way to get Firefox to use the native color picker?

I use KDE Plasma, and much prefer the KDE color picker over the GTK one that Firefox uses, with input type=color.

I know that I can set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to make Firefox use the native file picker, is there a way to make it use the native color picker as well?

I know there probably isn't a way, but I figured it's worth a shot asking.

Entire Comment Section discussing the weird comment of @over_clox instead of OPs Question lmao.
Excuse me for not answering the question but are you using the color picker in Firefox really that frequently?

I would just choose a nice color with the picker of my choice and paste the hex-code / type the RGB in the custom panel of the default FF color picker and that's it.
I didn't even know there was a color picker in Firefox !? What it is used for?
In about:config see if setting widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal to true does anything for you.
Yo kde color picker exists? How do I use this?
It is using a system color picker. That's the gtk color picker. You'd need to configure xdg-portal to utilize a different picker I'm pretty sure.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal might point you in the direction you're looking for... Not 100% on this though... maybe switch from portal-gtk to portal-kde?
It's a bit of a PITA. If you're after a proper dark mode, there's an addon called 'Dark Reader' which works very well.
Are you kidding me? You mean the KDE Color Picker is basically an exact rip of the Windows Color Picker?

😂🤣

Edit: Look up the screenshots, I'm not in the least bit joking. That's an exact clone color picker to Win9X.

KDE couldn't be even marginally original?
