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 didn't even know there was a color picker in Firefox !? What it is used for?

The color type form input. It’s a HTML standard, all modern browsers have it.

Oh ok that makes sense I guess I don't usually use anything like that... Plus I was thinking of the browser itself using it for something...
