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.

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.

I'm even more intrigued by their idea for a "good" color picker. From the way they describe it it just sounds like a UX nightmare
