Is there any way to get Firefox to use the native color picker? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

I solved the issue of Firefox not following my theme on KDE by abandoning Firefox and using Waterfox.

Functionally identical in every way except Waterfox follows qt instead of gtk.

It’s a stretch, I’ve never used waterfox’s color picker. But it may also use qt instead of gtk.

Just tried it. Same colour picker as Firefox unfortunately.
